Adam Bowling is leaving the Indiana State Library after six years of service to become IT Manager at Emmis Communications in Indianapolis. Adam began as MIS Director at the Indiana State Library in August 2008, at which time he also assumed the role of Evergreen Indiana technical coordinator.
“I’m excited about my new job and company, but there’s a lot about the library I’m going to miss. I’ve had the opportunity to interact with many great co-workers, as well as fantastic people across the state in libraries large and small. The toughest part is going to be parting from the ISL MIS staff. I’ve never worked with a better group of people than the assembly of talent we have now. I hope I get the chance to work with people on par with them in the future. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported Evergreen Indiana, MIS, and me over these years. It’s been touching to hear from so many folks who reached out to me upon hearing of my departure.”
