As many of you may already know, in June we contracted with Library Market to create a new calendar and meeting room software site with an original plan of launching that in December. A few months later in November, we decided to hire them for the design and development of an updated MLS website and an Oklahoma Digital Collections website. This meant a delay for the calendar and meeting room piece so that it could be more smoothly integrated into the website and all roll out at the same time, but it is also a significant expansion to the project.

We are excited to announce that the Metropolitan Library System was awarded an American Creed Community Conversations programming grant from the American Library Association (ALA) in partnership with Citizen Film and the National Writing Project. The American Creed program series will begin Summer 2019. ALA has released the following press release announcing all 50 public library award recipients.
