Time for New System Membership Agreements
The current 3-year system membership agreements expire at the end of December. However, they also include an automatic one-year extension. That means that it's once again time for all OWLS libraries to sign new membership agreements, but because of the automatic extensions we have time to get this done.
At their October meeting, the OWLS Board approved signing new 3-year agreements with OWLS libraries. The new agreements contain the same language as the current agreements, except that the dates have been updated. The new agreements will run through December 2011, with a one-year automatic extension through December 2012.
In the near future I'll be sending out two signed copies of the new agreement to all OWLS member libraries. I'll also include an unsigned copy that you can reproduce for your board. Please have your board approve and sign both copies at an upcoming meeting, and return one signed copy to me. If your board should want to pursue any modifications to the standard agreement or would like me to come to a meeting to discuss the agreement, please contact me.
