Burnham joins Bibliomation with Equinox support

Press Release: Equinox [December 15, 2016]

Duluth, Georgia–December 15, 2016. The partnership between Equinox and Bibliomation continues to grow as Burnham Library was successfully migrated to Evergreen in mid-November. Burnham is a single branch library located in Bridgewater, Connecticut. Burnham serves just over 1,100 patrons with over 31,000 holdings. This migration follows Milford Library's successful migration in September.

Rogan Hamby, Equinox Data and Project Analyst, worked on this project and remarked, "It was great partnering with Bibliomation on this project and wonderful to see the confidence and enthusiasm that the Burnham staff displayed during their migration. No one undertakes a migration lightly but they made it seem effortless. I always love seeing libraries like Burnham join the larger Evergreen community."

Sandra Neary, Burnham Library Director, added, "I only wish we could have become a part of Bibliomation and Evergreen well before now. This has been such a positive experience in every aspect. Questions answered in a flash, every detail attended to in such a timely manner. Evergreen and Bibliomation are a match made in heaven! We are so happy to have made this move and look forward to a long and happy relationship."
