Illinois Library Delivery Service

CARLI is now inviting ILDS participant libraries to add locations for direct ILDS delivery. Institutions who are interested in adding one or more of their sites as a direct ILDS stop should fill out the form and return it to CARLI via fax or mail (fax number and address on form) no later than May 1, 2008. The annual cost for each added stop is $3,250. 

CARLI will also be adding stops to accommodate new members.  All new locations will begin receiving ILDS delivery on July 1, 2008.

Delivery Bags
The new larger delivery bags have arrived. The new bag is made out of the same material and color as the purple bag you are used to seeing. The bag dimensions are 16” X 22”, with a 6” expandable bottom and a carrying handle.

We encourage you to use the new larger bags, or the older ILDS canvas bags to send larger shipments to a particular site. You can request these bags in the same way you request purple bags using the ILDS-IG@carli.illinois.edu. Please specify that you need the larger/canvas bags. If you also need the luggage tags to hold labels and loops to secure the tags to the canvas bags, send a request to support@carli.illinois.edu.

CARLI has ordered an additional 5,000 small purple bags, and 1,000 of the new larger bag. The delivery date for the additional bags is still undetermined.
