Delivery Task ForceThe Delivery Task Force was created in response to the increasing delivery volume. The original charge of the committee was to review the current state of MLS Delivery, examine other delivery models, and identify options to limit and/or accommodate current and future volume. The charge was changed slightly to include the creation of an emergency plan should members have to fully financially support the service. Request for Proposal PublishedAn entity known as SWAN is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide delivery and sorting of library materials among approximately 81 public libraries, located in the south and near west suburbs of Chicago using regularly scheduled routes.
