Six new libraries join LINC

Six new libraries received LSTA grants to join LINC this year. Initial configuration and setup meetings have already been held and these libraries will soon begin adding holdings to LINC.  Here is the list of new members:

DeLand-Weldon School Library, Monticello Middle School Library, Sheldon Public Library District, White Heath Elementary School Library (Monticello), Washington Elementary School Library (Monticello). Chrisman Public Library, which has been a Union List library (holdings only) for years, received a grant to purchase hardware and become a full, circulating library member of LINC. 

Congratulations to these grant recipients!
