Library News and Notes
- Book Distribution Delays (Update 10/7)
On October 6, the library’s book distributor announced its intention to cease operations. This will affect the library’s ability to process books in a timely manner, as well as the time our patrons may be waiting on hold for new titles. We are currently ordering titles through the retail marketplace in order to fill holds and backorders as quickly as possible.
We will be signing up with a new distributor as soon as we are able. Unfortunately, the large number of libraries that need to switch to the same distributor means the onboarding process could take some time. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience. We will update this page as new information becomes available.
