Congratulations to Phyllis Davis on her Retirement

And, more importantly, for her many years of service to libraries. (Enjoyed working with you on a variety of projects through the years and look forward to continue working with you on SCLS Foundation activities.)

Link to June 2 Deforest Times-Tribune article, "Library system director bookin' it to retirement".

Excerpt:  Phyllis Davis has played a key role in technological and governance changes at South Central Library System, but the retiring director knows the most important part of her job is the people.

“It’s not the system or the software you have to be dedicated to,” said Davis, who will retire in June. “It’s the people.”

Davis has been dedicated to SCLS since she came to the organization in 1985. She’s been dedicated to making the library easier to use for people, and dedicated to the people who run libraries having a say in the way they are run.

The Windsor resident had held many library-related jobs before joining SCLS in 1985 as its automation coordinator. She oversaw the development of the LINKCat shared database, an online tool that allows patrons from one library to view and check out items from another library.
