More information will be posted to this web page as it becomes available. T hanks to a statewide contract developed by the Kansas Library Network Board and the Regents' library directors, library patrons in Kansas have enjoyed next-day delivery of interlibrary loan materials from any other participant in the courier service since 1993. The original contract expired in November of 1998 and has been renegotiated. This document discusses similarities and differences between the two contracts. Pony Express will continue as our courier service provider.
Pony is a well-established national firm that serves library networks in several states.
Courier participants know that Pony provides reliable, next-day service to participating libraries of all types across the state. Our courier serves 65 sites in Kansas. It also includes a link with the 30 libraries served by the Kansas City Metropolitan Library Network's courier at no extra charge. As before, a uniformed Pony Express driver will pick up and deliver shipments in your library on the days you choose, at the location and times you specify. Pony will deliver your shipments on the next regularly-scheduled delivery day to the participating courier sites you designate.
