Montana libraries forming courier service. (Great Falls Tribune, 1/19/2012)
Excerpt: Five Montana libraries plan to switch from the U.S. Postal Service to a courier service in an effort to save money and speed up inter-library loan services.
Butte Public Library Director Lee Phillips said the Butte library, along with those in Great Falls, Missoula, Helena and Anaconda, will ship books and other items among themselves through an agreement with Critelli Courier Service in Butte.
"It offers faster service, costs less money, supports a local business and partners government with private industry, which is a win-win for taxpayers and the patron," Phillips said.
Kathy Mora, director of Great Falls Public Library, said she expects to see an eventual cost savings.
