DECEMBER 29– WESTCHESTER LIBRARIES SYSTEMS ADVISES OF DELAYS IN DELIVERY OF NEW BOOKS

Hits: 205

You may notice delays of new books at libraries and longer wait times for holds due to the sudden closure of Baker & Taylor, the nation’s major library book distributor.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as WLS member libraries work to secure materials through other sources. In the meantime, search the catalog, explore digital resources like Libby and Hoopla, or ask a librarian for recommendations.

(Editor’s Note: The problem has been created by the recent plans of Baker & Taylor the nation’s 200 year old book distributing company announcing it is closing in January.
