Doing Business with the Library
Collection Related Procurement
The library purchases books, CD’s, video’s, subscription services and other collection-related materials for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Much of the materials purchased are done so using multi-year contract agreements created after going through a formal solicitation process. This allows the library collection ordering staff to purchase most of the collection in a productive, time saving manner.
Specialized or foreign language items that are not available through the contracted providers are sourced in a variety of ways. Local, foreign and internet providers are used to procure the remaining targeted collection items.
