Equinox is pleased to announce that it has successfully migrated Amherst County Public Library to Evergreen within the Evergreen Virginia Project, managed by the Library of Virginia. Equinox completed the migration in early June. Amherst is hosted on Equinox's Sequoia platform along with the rest of the consortium.
Amherst has two locations and circulates over 100,000 items plus electronic resources. The two locations serve close to 16,000 patrons in Amherst County. Rose Schoof, Evergreen Virginia Project Manager, had this to say about the migration: " The word to describe our migration process would be "easy". The vast knowledge that Erica and the rest of the team possess is phenomenal."
The addition of Amherst brings the number of libraries in the Evergreen Virginia Project to 23. We look forward to helping the Project grow even more in the years to come.
