Rotation Forums

Do you participate in one or more media rotations through Southeastern Library Services?

If the answer is yes, these forums are just for you!

Throughout the month of October, Southeastern Library Services' will be holding a series of 2 hour long forums in centralized locations throughout southeastern Iowa. This series of forums is a great way to get all of the participants from each rotation in the same room to exchange feedback on various issues and agree on changes, if needed. New policies will be reviewed and new contracts will be distributed as well. Amanda Wright and Kim Kietzman will be there to mediate and field questions all in the hopes of making the rotations the best yet!

Below are the dates and locations for these forums. We are encouraging each library to send one person to represent their library (preferably already familiar with rotations), also one who can be responsible for voting on issues. If you are not able to make the forums, please be sure to submit feedback on the issues (that came in the emails you were sent out) to
Amanda Wright at least one week prior to the date of the forum, or your voice won't be heard.

The dates are as follows:

October 3rd, 2006-Washington Public Library
