Update from the Executive Director

To read the latest issue of the FLVC Library Services Update, please click here.

Hello Everyone,

In the previous issue of the FLVC Library Services Update, I discussed a topic that’s highly unusual for Florida: snow. I’m delighted to say that there’s no mention of snow in the forecast as we move into early April. Whew!

Also in the previous issue, I mentioned the release of the 2023-2024 FLVC Annual Report (you can find it, along with previous FLVC Annual Reports here), and I described some of the amazing cost savings provided to libraries during the previous fiscal year.

I’d also like to talk about some of the other metrics around the resources and collections provided by or supported by
FLVC. I’m incredibly proud of the efforts of FLVC staff in support of these resources and services, and these numbers tell the story of the scope and scale of the work done by this organization.

As a reminder, FLVC provides resources and services to more than 1 million students, faculty, and staff across the 28 state colleges and 12 state universities in Florida, at more than 150 library locations.
