[CASL-L] Library Speakers Consortium

[Douglas Lord]

Hi Angela  -

I usually just lurk on this list, so all y'all probably don't know me.
We're using LSC here in Newtown at the public library for adult
programming. My staff is happy with it, LSC are very easy to work with, the
microsite <https://libraryc.org/chboothlibrary> looks nice, and the
statistics are pretty good. Our page is here
<https://www.chboothlibrary.org/tailored-for-you/readers-listeners-viewers/book-discussions/>.


I attached one of the little reports we get from them. I think we're paying
$3K per year.
