Dear Library Patron,
We wanted to let you know about a new development in library services. deliverIT is changing.
We’ve all read the stories about how tight the State budget is. Over the last few years, the Connecticut State
Library (CSL) has faced continual cuts in funding—including the funding for deliverIT. To make sure all
libraries across Connecticut receive fair and equitable delivery services, the State Library is retooling deliverIT.
The new deliverIT will provide delivery service to every library across the state up to five days a week. Each
library will be able to receive no more three bins of items per day (approximately 75 books, DVDs, magazines,
etc.).
We’re working with the CSL to launch the new service. This means that libraries across the state will suspend
deliverIT services for two weeks starting July 3rd. These two weeks have historically had low numbers in terms
of items transported between and among our libraries. Our goal is to lessen the impact on you, our patrons,
during these two weeks and then resume deliverIT service on or around July 17th.
If you have items that came through deliverIT or borrowIT, please bring them back to our library or to the
originating library (the library it came from). Our goal is to return all items to their home libraries during these
two weeks.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the State Library by using the online form at
