DELIVERY

Drop-off Request for Library Materials from Delivery Warehouse
[ Posted on July 7, 2020 ]

It is uncertain when statewide delivery service to participating LLNJ member libraries will return due to budgetary concerns at the State level. With libraries preparing to reopen, it will be more important than ever for libraries to be able to have their full collections at their disposal in order to meet patron demand. Consequently, LLNJ would like to deliver materials currently occupying transit warehouses before the end of July.

However, LLNJ realizes that not all libraries are able to accept a delivery in July for any number of reasons. This initiative will therefore need to be of an “opt in” variety. Please note that this initiative is meant to only drop off materials already at warehouses to libraries (not pick anything up from a library) and materials will be dropped outside libraries’ door “curbside-style” because the vendor is not permitting drivers to enter facilities.

If your library’s delivery point would like to receive warehoused items, please complete the following form by Friday, 7/10 (user log-in required to fill out this form): http://librarylinknj.org/delivery-dropoff-request

This is the one and only time LLNJ will be able to potentially fund such service this summer. Libraries are strongly urged to take advantage of this one-time offer and make arrangements accordingly.

Knowing the 4-digit delivery ID number associated with a delivery point will help make choosing one’s library more efficient in one of the form’s dropdown boxes. Click here to lookup your delivery ID ahead of time.

This form needs to be completed in full for each delivery point associated with your institution that is seeking this service. The information collected by this form will provide LLNJ and its vendor with the information it needs to budget and prepare for this endeavor.

Please do not hesitate to contact the LLNJ Office with questions. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

LibraryLinkNJ

BCCLS Delivery Transition Information effective June 20, 2019

Effective Monday, June 24, 2019 the Bergen County Cooperative Library System (BCCLS) is handling its own intra-library deliveries.

Here is important information for your library on borrowing and returning materials from BCCLS libraries.

For libraries Participating in the Statewide Library Delivery Courier Service from LibraryLinkNJ (LLNJ). These are instructions for non-BCCLS libraries.

NOTE:

  • This is not the same service as JerseyCat: the Statewide ILL Request System from the New Jersey State Library
  • JerseyCat slips may not be used as labels for items placed in the LLNJ Delivery Courier Service

PURGE:

  • All recycled LibraryLinkNJ produced delivery slips from your files.
  • All labels for BCCLS libraries printed before Wednesday, June 19, 5PM
    • WHY?
      • There are updates in the delivery label addresses and route numbers for a significant number of libraries including BCCLS members
      • Library address and route numbers change frequently
      • LLNJ labels are designed for single use
      • PRINT new delivery labels as needed each day

DO:

  • DATE the delivery slip at Shipping Date every time so our delivery vendor can track transit time for our deliveries
  • STAMP your library’s name and address on the back of the label every time so our delivery vendor can track where the delivery came from

SENDING/RETURNING AN ITEM TO A BCCLS LIBRARY:

  • GO to the Delivery List Label Generator (https://librarylinknj.org/delivery/library-delivery-info)
  • Look up the name of the library and print the label
    • It is addressed for the BCCLS individual library with a route listed as “BCCLS” (see sample)
    • Date the slip, stamp your library’s name of the back of the label
    • Pack as usual

For libraries in the BCCLS Delivery System:

  • Follow instructions given to your library by BCCLS

POLICY

COST SHARE POLICY - Approved by the LibraryLinkNJ Board on 5/15/19 [ PDF  ]

The LibraryLinkNJ Delivery Service supports multi-type library resource sharing within New Jersey. Its goal is to provide a statewide Delivery Service with a policy that is sustainable, cost-effective, efficient, and equitable.

The LibraryLinkNJ Delivery Task Force members are:

  • Brian Auger, Somerset County Library System;
  • Phillip Berg, Morris Automated Information Network (MAIN);
  • Ralph Bingham, Gloucester County Library System;
  • Arlen Kimmelman, Clearview Regional High School;
  • Robert Lackie, Rider University;
  • Luca Manna, PALS Plus;
  • Eileen Palmer, Libraries of Middlesex County Consortium (LMxAC);
  • Courtenay Reece, Millville Public Library; and
  • Juliet Machie, LibraryLinkNJ.

The Task Force recommended for FY20 a single rate of $3.82 per stop statewide as a more equitable way to assign costs. The LibraryLinkNJ Executive Board approved this as policy at their meeting on May 15, 2019.

This rate was determined by looking at the total of funds needed from the cost share ($191,493) divided by the total number of LibraryLinkNJ paid stops per year (50,190) resulting in a cost per stop ($3.82).

This Equitable Formula also accounts for factors such as:

  • Number of delivery stops received per week by a library
  • Number of stops per week paid for by LibraryLinkNJ
  • Differential for K-12 schools (with service for 40 weeks per year) and all other libraries (service for 50 weeks per year).

This results in delivery cost share prices ranging from $191 to $955 per year (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020), depending on the level of service a library receives. For a library receiving the maximum service of 5 days a week service, it represents a cost to the library of just $19.10 a week.

LibraryLinkNJ will invoice all delivery libraries by this fall.

A spreadsheet  is available which details the cost per library based on the recommended Equitable Formula.

– Revised and Approved by Executive Board July 19, 2014 for implementation in early 2015

A. PARTICIPATION

1. Voting Representative Responsibility:

  • Each Voting Representative of a library on delivery is responsible to delegate an ongoing review and implementation of delivery policies and procedures with appropriate library staff.
  • Timely and proactive communication between the member library and the LibraryLinkNJ office is required for the speedy resolution of problems.

2. Eligibility:

  • Only LibraryLinkNJ member libraries are eligible to be considered for Delivery Services.
  • LibraryLinkNJ member libraries not on delivery may apply for and/or pay for Delivery Services. 
  • A member library, especially those that are members of JerseyCat, may apply for Delivery Service. To apply, click here.
  • Criteria to maintain eligibility are performance-based, as follows:
    • The primary component for delivery eligibility is participation in resource sharing. This participation is based on volume and is documented by reported statistics.
    • A library’s delivery statistics must be current.
    • Staff submit delivery statistics by the 10th of the following month using the Cooperative’s online delivery statistics form only; statistics faxed to the office are unacceptable.
    • The level of resource sharing is reviewed annually within the four library tiers of delivery structure: public, academic, school and special libraries
    • Effective calendar year 2016, resource sharing volume in the bottom 50% of a given tier will be analyzed in terms of the tier’s median cost per package shipped. The result of the analysis may result in a library losing one or more delivery days and/or being removed from delivery altogether.
    • Any library may pay for one or more extra days of delivery.
    • A library follows ALA Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States, if items are lost or damaged.
    • Staff communicates delivery problems to the LibraryLinkNJ office within 48 hours of a delivery issue.
    • Staff are in place at the library to provide consistent resource sharing, e.g., a school library that has no certified media specialist on staff is ineligible for delivery.
    • Libraries that are unable to meet or maintain eligibility requirements may appeal circumstances to the Executive Director. The Executive Director will offer a fair hearing but there is no guarantee that the eligibility and/or delivery frequency decision will be waived. In this flat funding environment, the Cooperative’s funds must be used judiciously.

[ back to top ]

B. COMMUNICATION WITH THE LIBRARYLINKNJ OFFICE

  • A member library is required to email the LibraryLinkNJ Office by the next business day after a delivery stop is missed. Available staff will start immediately on problem resolution.
  • Members are discouraged from contacting the office because their driver is “late.” This is a statewide service and individual routes may be impacted by weather, road conditions, delivery volume or vehicle trouble.
  • If closed due to weather, the library must report using the Library Closure form.
  • If closed for a long period, i.e., school libraries closed for extended holiday weeks or libraries closed for renovation, the library must contact the LibraryLinkNJ office.

[ back to top ]

C. SHIPPING OF LIBRARY MATERIALS

1. Destinations:

  • Items may be sent only to libraries participating in the Delivery Service and only to the designated addresses on the current Delivery Address List.
  • Delivery Address List is kept current on the LibraryLinkNJ webpage.
  • Only the primary contact(s) of each participating library is authorized to update its delivery address.

2. What May be Delivered:

The Delivery Service exists solely to support statewide library resource sharing including: interlibrary loan and reciprocal borrowing.

There are restrictions on what may be shipped using the Delivery Service. Details are in the PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES section.

3. Pickup and Delivery Schedules:

  • Delivery routes and times are created by the vendor.
  • There is no guarantee of a specific time for delivery.
  • Due to the complexity of delivery routes, timing of delivery cannot be easily adjusted.
  • Timing adjustments to schedules will only be made in extraordinary cases and at the discretion of LibraryLinkNJ, assuming the changes do not incur additional costs.
  • Delivery frequency is determined by LibraryLinkNJ.

4. Transit Time:

  • Delivery is defined as delivering Monday through Friday during the time the library is open.
  • The vendor contract sets the transit time between a shipping library and a destination library.

5. Plastic Bags, Packaging and Labels:

6. Tote Bins:

Delivery Bin
  • LibraryLinkNJ provides blue plastic tote bins to assist in the efficient flow of delivery materials.
  • Member libraries must use these bins ONLY for the Delivery Service.
  • Members are expected to return extra empty tote bins that are not is use to the delivery vendor when requested.
  • Members using tote bins for in-house purposes or that hoard bins risk suspension of Delivery Services. These bins cost LibraryLinkNJ thousands of dollars to provide.

7. Losses or Damages:

  • Delivery is an undocumented and uninsured service. This applies to both materials shipped for ILL and for the purpose of reciprocal borrowing.
  • There is no manifest or tracking of individual items or shipments.
  • If material is lost or damaged in delivery, all members will follow the American Library Association Interlibrary Loan Code where the requesting library is responsible for the return of material to the supplying library from the time of shipment from the supplying library.
  • Lost or damaged items in transit are not covered by insurance, except if the loss or damage is clearly covered by the delivery vendor’s accident liability insurance.
  • LibraryLinkNJ does not reimburse libraries for lost items.

[ back to top ]

D. STATISTICS

  • The primary purpose of maintaining ongoing statistics is to document delivery volume for the vendor. The secondary purpose is to document the pattern of resource sharing.
  • Members must submit a monthly count of packages shipped per day. Staff use of the existing online delivery statistics form is required. Member library staff must cease submitting delivery statistics by fax.
  • The statistical unit counted is the package. For example, a count of one (1) package could include:
    • A box with multiple books or DVDs.
    • A plastic bag with 1 or more items.
    • A blue tote bin with eight (8) plastic bags would count as 8 packages.
    • Staff may not count books within individual packages for their delivery statistics.
    • Staff may not count material within boxes for their delivery statistics.
    • As a further example, each individual label used Is equivalent to one package.
  • Statistics are due the 10th day of the following month.
  • A member that does not submit statistics three months in a row is a library not in good standing. This situation will result in an office review and potential suspension from Delivery Services.

[ back to top ]

E. COMPLIANCE

  • Libraries that do not comply with Delivery Policies are subject to Delivery Service restrictions.

[ back to top ]

The LibraryLinkNJ Executive Board reserves the right to adjust
these policies when budgetary pressures require it.

Approved by the LibraryLinkNJ Executive Board, July 10, 2014.



PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES - Revised 5/17/18

– Library administration and their staff are responsible for adhering to the policies and for following the correct procedures and practices of the Delivery Service.

A. PICKUP AND DELIVERY

  • Establish an internal site/place for deliveries and pickups.
  • Choose a site/place that the driver can reach, is convenient for library staff, and is easy to monitor the vendor's compliance with its contract with LibraryLinkNJ.
  • The delivery vendor is required to schedule its pickup and delivery times during the hours a library is open.
  • The contract with the vendor calls for pickup and delivery within two business days’ transit time between the shipping library and destination library.
  • NOTE: Delivery is also dependent on stop frequency. The Delivery Address List indicates which libraries receive Delivery Service 2, 3, 4 and 5 days a week, respectively.

Assistance and Request Forms

When a Library is Closed:

  • The delivery vendor is required to schedule its pickup and delivery times during the hours a library is open.
  • However, if the library is closed:
    • Re-delivery will be attempted the next regular delivery day, and for up to 5 consecutive business days.
    • If re-delivery is unsuccessful, the delivery vendor will deliver the materials to the LibraryLinkNJ office.
    • Report your library closure by using the Library Closure Form
    • Please plan ahead. TForce must be notified at least 10 working days ahead of any non-emergency closures in order for LibraryLinkNJ to get credit for the stop.
    • Use this form to report

      Closures due to:

      • Weather
      • Renovation/construction
      • Emergencies
      • Holidays the library is closed
      • School vacation breaks

      Changes in opening hours due to:

      • Seasonal changes (summer hours)
      • Academic semester breaks
      • Overall hours changed

 

Notify the LibraryLinkNJ Office of Changes Affecting your Delivery Status:

  • If you wish to stop your Delivery Service for any reason or to change the frequency of your pickup, or if there is a change in your address, you must contact the office. If you do not contact us to make changes affecting your Delivery Service, LibraryLinkNJ will be billed for service that you are not receiving.
  • If a library is closed for a long period, e.g., school libraries closed for extended holiday weeks or libraries closed for renovation, the library must report it by using the Library Closure Form.

Bad weather:

Weather conditions vary across the state. Bad weather in one area can have an impact on the entire system.

Holidays When There is no Delivery: 

The current delivery contract lists the following holidays when there is no delivery:

  • New Year's Day
  • Martin Luther King Day
  • Presidents Day
  • Good Friday
  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Columbus Day
  • Veteran's Day
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • Day After Thanksgiving Day
  • Christmas Day

Currently, we work on a holiday by holiday basis with TFore Final Mile on plans to address missed holiday service days. We assess where and how much the backlog of materials are and then arrange for a targeted pickup.  This could be whole routes or selected libraries along routes.  We will do our best to let those libraries know if they will get an extra pickup and on what day.

  • We strongly urge libraries to prioritize items waiting to be picked up after a holiday closing.
  • Segregate items that are filling patron requests from ordinary returns and label bins in priority order accordingly.

[ back to top ]

B. RECORD-KEEPING AND SUBMITTING STATISTICS -

  • Library staff must submit delivery statistics by the 10th of the following month using the Cooperative’s online delivery statistics form only; statistics may no longer by faxed to the office.
  • Faxed statistics will not be accepted and will put your library’s eligibility for the Delivery Service at risk.
  • A library’s delivery statistics must tracked on a daily Delivery Log
  • Download and post the form at the established delivery Pickup/Dropoff spot.
  • For each delivery day, record on the form the number of outgoing packages (shipped).
  • If no packages/boxes are sent on a delivery day, enter "0".
  • Track that the driver initials the form whether or not he or she picks up any packages/boxes so that the form records that the stops are being made.
  • If the driver misses an expected delivery stop, draw a line through the day and report it by using the Delivery Problem Form.
  • Total the delivery statistics at the end of the month and submit them online no later than the 10th of the following month.
  • We highly recommend that you keep your log sheets for one year.
  • NOTE: any library that does not comply with statistics submission risks losing eligibility for future Delivery Services.

[ back to top ]

C. SHIPPING OF LIBRARY MATERIALS

Destinations:

  • Items may be sent via the Delivery Service only to libraries participating in the regular Delivery Service and only to the designated addresses on the current Delivery Address List.
  • Delivery Address List is kept current on the LibraryLinkNJ webpage.
  • In participating libraries, all individuals responsible for deliveries must access and use the current Delivery Address List.
  • If any participating library needs to update its delivery address or other information, please contact Mi-Sun Lyu at lyu@librarylinknj.org.
  • Any materials sent to a library or address not on the current list will be returned to the LibraryLinkNJ office, causing delivery delay and possible cost to the sender.
  • Use the U.S. Postal Service to send materials to libraries that do not receive Delivery Service.

What Can and Can NOT be Delivered:

  • The Delivery Service exists to support resource sharing through interlibrary loan and reciprocal borrowing.
  • Materials that can be shipped include books, audiotapes, CDs, DVDs, videos, documents, boxes of books, bulk loans and other library material.

The Cooperative has a service contract with a delivery vendor. We expect libraries eligible for Delivery Service to adhere to the following contract restrictions.

Libraries may NOT send the following materials through the delivery system:

  • Oversized/heavy packages
    • Individual packages may not weigh more than 50 lbs.
    • Individual packages may not exceed more than 130” in total dimensions: length, plus width, plus height of the longest side
  • Fragile/breakable items
  • Material of a rare or irreplaceable nature
  • Equipment
  • Furniture
  • Office supplies
  • Public relations material from outside organizations

Packaging:

  • All items placed in the Delivery System must be appropriately wrapped and accurately addressed.
  • Preprinted labels and directory information are available on the Delivery Address List.
  • LibraryLinkNJ supplies reusable clear plastic bags (in 2 sizes: 15"x20" and 12"x12").
    • It is advisable to place items in these bags even if they are already in other packaging.
    • The plastic bags provided by LibraryLinkNJ help identify packages as belonging to our Delivery System, as well as protect the items being shipped.
    • Envelopes larger than 8"x10" may be sent without being enclosed in a plastic bag.
    • Smaller envelopes must be enclosed in a plastic bag.
  • Be sure that the library to which you are sending is on the current Delivery Address List and that you are using the specific address designated on the list for that library.
  • A "see" reference refers you from a library within a library system to the designated delivery address for the system.
  • The notation "US Mail" with a library's address indicates that the library is not on the Delivery Service.
  • All items going to a single destination may be put into the same package.

    Please follow these supplemental packaging guidelines when shipping DVDs or similarly packaged items:

  • Keep in mind that this service is provided by a commercial vendor not unlike UPS or the U.S. Postal Service.
  • While packaging requirements for most items sent through delivery are simplified by the use of Service address labels and plastic bags, special packaging is needed for shipping DVDs or similarly packaged items through the Service.
  • These items should be placed first in a paper or padded envelope, then in a plastic bag.
  • Never label in any way that identifies the contents.
  • If shipping several items to the same destination, use a clean and firm box, not one that is battered and easy to open.
  • Pad with paper if items being shipped don't fill the box, or if handling (e.g. stacking) could puncture the box.

Labeling: 

  • Use the label generator next to each library on the Delivery Address List.
  • Stamp your library’s return address on the back of the label or on the envelope.
  • Place the label in each bag so that it is clearly visible, or affix it firmly to the sealed box or envelope.
  • The address label must be clearly visible and legible. No other address should be visible which might cause confusion about the destination. (Except for standard return addresses on printed envelopes, the return address should be only on the back of the label and inside the envelope or package.)
  • Use the exact address given on the current Delivery Address List or update.
  • Use the "ATTN" space to direct material to a branch or individual within a library.
  • Do not label DVDs or similar items in any way that identifies the contents.
  • Always fill in the expected shipping date on the label.

Plastic bags:

  • We supply two sizes of clear plastic bags: 12"x12" and 15"x20".
  • Fold bags to fit around the items fairly closely so that they do not slide around inside the bag. Do not overfill.
  • Secure with tape or sturdy rubber bands.
  • The bags are intended to be reusable, but should be discarded when damaged or dirty.
  • If you have extra bags in very good condition, you may send them back to the office for reuse.
  • DO NOT SEND US DIRTY OR WORN BAGS. PLEASE DISCARD THEM.

Supplies: 

  • LibraryLinkNJ provides libraries on the Delivery Service with two sizes of reusable plastic bags.
  • Please use the the Plastic Bag Request Form.  

Tote Bins:

Delivery Bin
  • LibraryLinkNJ provides blue plastic tote bins to assist in the efficient flow of delivery materials.
  • Member libraries must use these bins ONLY for the Delivery Service.
  • Members are expected to return extra empty tote bins that are not is use to the delivery vendor when requested.
  • Please use the Bin Request Form, if you need bins. 

Cartons:

  • Cartons may be used for bulk shipments to the same destination.
    • You may protect the items inside by placing them in a plastic bag.
    • The plastic bag should be closed at the top.
  • The carton should be firmly sealed with packaging tape and the delivery label affixed to the outside of the carton.
  • Be sure any addresses on cartons used for previous shipment are blacked out so that only the current delivery address shows.
  • The vendor contract Terms and Conditions require that individual packages may not weigh more than 50 lbs. and may not exceed more than 130” in length, plus width, plus height of the longest side.
  • The vendor will not deliver unsealed boxes, but will contact the LibraryLinkNJ office to determine disposition. This does not include open boxes containing properly packaged items.
  • Large shipments of DVDs and similar material through the Delivery Service is NOT recommended. These should be made through a separate, insured service.
  • In the unfortunate event that a shipment is lost, the borrowing library must absorb the cost.

Losses or Damages: 

  • The Delivery Service is an undocumented and uninsured service.
  • Shipments are not traceable and not insured, except when loss or damage is clearly covered by the vendor's liability insurance.
  • There is no manifest or tracking of individual items or shipments.
  • The vendor moves shipments intact to the destination address and does not have records or knowledge of what is contained in each individual shipment.
  • Material that is lost or damaged in transit is not covered by insurance, except if the loss or damage is clearly covered by the delivery vendor’s accident liability insurance.

[ back to top ]

D. PROBLEM RESOLUTION 

Contract terms prohibit a member library from discussing any issues affecting service with the vendor or with a driver.

The LibraryLinkNJ office holds the delivery contract and is the point of contact for all issues to do with the Delivery Service.

Your cooperation is necessary in order to ensure the receipt of quality service at your library and to prevent waste of LibraryLinkNJ Delivery Service funding.

Delivery problems must be communicated to LLNJ within two business days.

Common Problems:

  • Driver does not make a scheduled delivery stop:
    • Report this using the Delivery Problem Form by the next business day.
    • The vendor will work to resolve the problem and we will notify you of the disposition.
    • Do not wait longer. We cannot solve missed delivery problems that are a week old or older.
    • Missed stops means we are paying for services a member library did not receive.
  • Driver does not arrive at the time a library usually expects them:
    • Do not call the office and do not fill out a Problem Form.
    • The contract doesn’t guarantee a specific delivery time.
    • Weather road conditions, delivery volume and vehicle trouble all effect delivery times.
    • We cannot adjust delivery schedules to fit the convenience of library staffing.
  • Driver wants to make special arrangements with the library (e.g., calling on the phone to see if there is anything to go out, etc.) that are outside of usual procedures.
    • This is not allowed.
    • Report this to us using the Delivery Problem Form.
    • The system works best if the driver follows the usual routine for which we are paying: showing up at a designated site at the correct frequency for your library (2, 3, 4 or 5 days/week).

If the same problem(s) persists:

  • Call the LibraryLinkNJ office at 732-752-7720.
  • The office will contact the vendor to resolve the ongoing problem.
  • Most importantly, don't let problems slip by; document them.
  • If something is not right, report it.
  • It is the delivery vendor's job to get the details right, and our job to see that it is done.

[ back to top ]

E. REQUEST TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL DELIVERY SERVICE

This is only for libraries currently on the Delivery Service. If your library is not currently on the Delivery Service, and you would like to apply to participate, please see Section F, below.
