<div>I'm happy to announce that the newly expanded Chinook Library Network consisting of the Lincoln County public libraries of Newport, Driftwood, Siletz, Toledo, and Waldport, the Tillamook County Library System, and Oregon Coast (Newport), Tillamook Bay,
and Clatsop community colleges is live today on a shared Koha/Aspen system. We anticipate this project to better serve the residents of both counties with library services, provide cost savings to the new library members with the use of an open source ILS,
and allow for greater shared expertise in the use of Koha/Aspen within the Chinook network as well as other Oregon Koha libraries.

<div>Credit goes to the migration team consisting of Christopher Davis (Lincoln County Library District), Lillian Curanzy (Newport), Mark Irmscher (Driftwood), and Danielle Meininger (Tillamook County) for their work this past year in configuring the new system
meeting both virtually and in-person with team members working up to 90 miles away from one another. Credit also goes to former LCLD director and Oregon State Librarian, MaryKay Dahlgreen, for initiating conversations with coast libraries about a shared system;
Corvallis, Jackson County, and Curry County libraries for sharing their knowledge and expertise; as well as former coast library and district directors for cultivating and maintaining a tradition of generously sharing resources - we are simply following in
their footsteps!</div>

</div>
<div>This project was made possible with funding from a Library Services and Technology Act grant through the Oregon State Library.
