<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#201f1e">The State Library, OhioLINK, and the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (which manages the delivery contract) continue to work closely with Priority Dispatch to
determine what factors will need to be in place for the delivery system as a whole to be brought back up. <span style="background:white">Operationally, Priority Dispatch needs 85% of the libraries to be available to receive deliveries before we are able to
restart courier service to any library. At this point, around 72% of public libraries have already informed us they will be or are open and available to begin receiving delivery services. It looks like the soonest delivery services could resume would be the
week of June 29th.</span></span><span style="color:#201f1e"><br>

indicated a start date for receiving deliveries. <b>If you have not already done so, please email Jamie Pardee at <a href="mailto:jpardee@library.ohio.gov" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954f72">jpardee@library.ohio.gov</span></a> as soon as possible
