It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
SEFLIN has so many positive things happening this spring. The Conference Planning and Virtual Conference Planning committees are making progress on plans for the Regional Conference on July 26 at the Kovens Center and for the Virtual Conference on eBooks that will be held on September 21.
The final draft of the SEFLIN Strategic Plan is completed and is to be reviewed by the Board of Directors at their May 18 Meeting. The Board will also be reviewing major changes for simplifying SEFLIN membership and dues.
The Southeast Florida Municipal Libraries Digital Consortium is launched. The Technology Petting Zoo sessions for hands-on practice with ebook gadgets are scheduled.
And then -- the news of the veto of Library Cooperative funding for next year arrived. This doesn't change everything, but it will change a lot. Please stay tuned. |
| Governor's Veto is a Surprise | |  SEFLIN to lose Library Cooperative Funds in 2012-2013
Governor Scott vetoed MLC funding for 2012-13. This loss of funds will hurt severely in the fiscal year beginning October 1. The funding can't be restored this year, but Florida libraries need it to be restored for 2013-14. Please write Governor Scott and tell him why SEFLIN is important to your library and ask him to include funding for the MLCs in his 2013-14 Budget recommendations. We need to show the Governor why he would want to recommend funding.
