FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Duluth, GA — May 6, 2013

Caldwell County Public Library has gone live with Evergreen as part of the NC Cardinal Consortium. Equinox Software provided data migration and staff

training and will continue to provide system administration and technical support for the growing consortium.

Caldwell County Public Library consists of three branches located in Lenoir, Granite Falls, and Hudson. They are the 13th library system to join NC

Cardinal adding 73, 000 bibliographic items and more than 36,000 patrons to the consortium. The online catalog for entire consortium can be viewed at

According to Equinox Project Manager, Shae Tetterton, “It was an honor to work with Sarah Greene at Caldwell County and, as always, the wonderful

folks at the State Library. The growth of this new consortium is very exciting to me, especially being a North Carolinian myself. I look forward to my

continued work with the NC Cardinal group.”
