Interested in the Past? Visit Our ReCap Archive!

The premier issue of CDLC's Newsletter, distributed in November 1966, was titled "Newsletter No. 1." Like most serials, a name change was inevitable. In 1974 "The Newsletter" became "ReCap, The Newsletter of the Capital District Library Council." In September 2010 (Number 68), the name was changed to "ReCap Online, The Newsletter of the Capital District Library Council." The last issue of ReCap was published in the Fall of 2018 when it was replaced with "From the Director".  You can read some of our past issues by visiting our ReCap Archive Page.

If you have any questions about your subscriptions and are unable to find an answer, email Kari Kakeh at kkakeh@cdlc.org.
