Free access to home delivery for patrons is discussed in chapter 11. Libraries are developing arrangements with book resellers. These companies offer a part of the resale value of library discards back to the participating libraries. A library courier service can recoup some of the cost of the delivery service by assisting in shipping to resellers. The next step is for the library delivery service to become a reseller itself. The Colorado Library Consortium is currently running a pilot of such a project. Some patrons need special equipment to access library collections. The courier service could deliver this material. This can be done in a partnership with another nonprofit organization that provides such equipment to people with special needs. Perhaps a courier service could connect with library vendors such as book binders new book shippers and supply companies. A courier located near a shipping facility for a library book supplier like Baker and Taylor or Yankee Books or a book binder like Houchen Bindery could find a way to speed delivery of ordered materials to libraries while raising operating capital. The more libraries study the world of supply chain management the more we can learn about opportunities for providing better services to our library patrons while possibly recuperating some operating capital.
