    Forsyth County Public Library Live on Evergreen

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Duluth, GA —March 3, 2014

    The Forsyth County Public Library has officially joined NC Cardinal live on Evergreen. Equinox oversaw implementation and staff training and will continue to provide ongoing system administration, hosting, and technical support for the growing consortium.

    The Forsyth County Public Library consists of ten branches and serves over 159,000 patrons. They are the 17th library to join the NC Cardinal consortium. Their new online catalog can be viewed at http://forsyth.nccardinal.org

    Equinox Project Manager, Shae Tetterton, says, “Forsyth was excited from day one about their transition to Evergreen. This made the project fun for all parties and resulted in a very smooth migration. With such an amazing staff and support from the State Library, I see this group being leaders in their own consortium and the larger Evergreen community.”
