Summer Reading tracking programs
by Laura Hauch - Buchanan District Library 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Last week I got an email from Demco that they're discontinuing Wandoo Reader. Needless to say we're panicking a little. Maybe Demco thinks 5 months is enough time to find a replacement, but I beg to differ. What program do you use to track your Summer Reading? Does it have an app, or strictly web-based? How easy was it for your patrons to learn? Your staff? How expensive? Any word on whether the Library of Michigan will provide access to another program?

CADL Finance Director Pat Taylor is retiring
by Duimstra,Scott 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hi all, Our fantastic Finance Director, Pat Taylor, is retiring on April 29, 2022. Pat has been such an integral part of CADL. He's been our Finance Director for 20 years, so you can imagine the economic landscapes that he's guided our library system through to become one that is on very solid financial ground. We are one of those rare library systems that have short terms (4 years) for our operational millage and Pat has been a major part of the forecasting, planning and ultimately passing of these campaigns. He's been such an important part of CADL's management and organization that it's hard to imagine him not being part of our team. But, he has definitely earned his retirement and we are very happy for him. If you know of anyone who would be a great fit for our Finance Director position, please direct them to the position's posting on our website.<https://www.cadl.org/jobs/finance-director> We're a great library system to work for and as part of our management group, this position plays a major role in our library operations and services. Thank you, Scott Duimstra Executive Director Pronouns: he, him, his Capital Area District Libraries - Administration 401 S. Capitol Avenue, Lansing, MI 48933 517-367-0813| duimstras(a)cadl.org<mailto:duimstras@cadl.org> www.cadl.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cadl.org_&d=DwMF-g&…> | Twitter: www.twitter.com/cadl<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.twitter.com_cadl&d=…> | Facebook: www.facebook.com/cadlibrary<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.facebook.com_cadlib…>
