IHLS, one of the contracted vendors for ILDS, has released a draft plan for resuming delivery service. The information provided is also intended for ILDS libraries. Libraries may make an appointment with their hub manager to retrieve items that have been held. Social distancing as well as masks are required.
The other vendor, RAILS, does not have a draft plan for ILDS libraries at this time.
4/1/2020 UPDATE: ILDS service is suspended until further notice due to the evolving situation with COVID-19 Coronavirus.
UPDATE: ILDS service will be suspended until at least April 7. This may be adjusted in the future as the situation with COVID-19 Coronavirus continues to evolve. CARLI is aware that some schools currently plan to be closed beyond that date. We will be working closely with RAILS and IHLS to coordinate a smooth restart of the delivery service.
We have been receiving questions about the effect that the COVID-19 novel coronavirus will have on ILDS. The vendors who handle delivery for ILDS, RAILS and IHLS currently have no plans for any work stoppage and delivery will continue as usual. Both RAILS and IHLS will be taking additional precautions for delivery staff such as using gloves and sanitizer.
