[OPLINLIST] Delivery Service Transition Update

Please excuse multiple posts:
________________________________

The final days of the statewide delivery service transition to Priority Dispatch will be here soon. We understand this has been difficult for you and your patrons and appreciate all efforts to make sure the new service starts off as smoothly as possible for all.

We know most libraries have items in transit, and many have materials waiting for pickup. The State Library and OhioLINK are working to ensure all Ohio library materials safely depart STAT warehouses by April 15th.

Libraries that paused lending earlier this month have helped reduce the number of backlogged items in STAT warehouses. State Library (including SEO) and OhioLINK staff have been visiting STAT warehouses to monitor progress; please be assured, STAT Courier remains responsible and is expected to continue service through April 15th.

The following timeline details key dates and actions that are vital to ensure safe care and delivery of library materials through the transition and beyond:

April 4, 2022
Starting on this date, STAT Courier will only deliver material to libraries. Drivers will not pick up any outgoing library items again until April 18th when Priority Dispatch service begins.

STAT owns most of the totes and may begin collecting empty totes.

April 5, 2022
Delivery labels for Priority Dispatch will be available on the State Library website<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/statewide-delivery/#DeliveryResources> to print. STAT labels will no longer be available online, and all printed STAT labels must be discarded.

Priority Dispatch does not transport library materials in totes. Libraries must begin relabeling all bags with the new Priority Dispatch labels.

April 15, 2022
STAT Courier’s last day of service (dropping off materials only).

Libraries must relabel any remaining bags using Priority Dispatch labels.

April 18, 2022 
Priority Dispatch’s first day of service. It will take some time for Priority to pick up all items waiting at libraries. There may be a limit to what they can pick up during the first few weeks. Bags without the correct Priority label will not be picked up and must be relabeled. The correct labels will have the Priority Dispatch logo on them. Please remember that Priority Dispatch does not transport library materials in totes.
