The New Hampshire State Library is closed on Monday, May
27, 2013, in observance of Memorial Day.
There will be NO Van Delivery on
that date.
For a complete list of all of the holidays the State Library
is closed, please visit
http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html
(the van delivery instructions) and scroll down to "NO Van Service".
If
for any other reason (e.g. bad weather) van service on a particular route(s)
does not operate, libraries will be notified via an e-mail message and a post to
this blog. If your library does not receive van service on a particular day,
please check your e-mail and/or this blog before calling the State
Library.
Please remember to properly label each item which you
are sending via the Van Delivery Service. This will help ensure these items make
it to the correct destination in a timely
manner.
If you need a refresher on how items
should be marked for the van, please refer to the Van Delivery Service -
Instructions,
http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html,
and scroll down to number 3 of the guidelines, "Addressing material to be sent
on the van".
To print a current van directory list arranged in
alphabetical order by library, please use the PDF version which is available at

You
will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print this pdf file. If you do not
have it installed on your machine, you may down load it for free from

Due
to the ever increasing load of materials transported by the New Hampshire State
Library van delivery system, our vans can reach maximum capacity before the end
of a van route, especially following long weekends and holidays. Our drivers can
decline to accept materials if they feel they cannot fit them safely on their
van. We are also asking libraries to please be aware of volume during times when
there is likely to be a problem. You should prioritize your materials to be
picked up, in case some items must be left until the next van pick up. That will
allow us to immediately transport the most important items as quickly as
possible.
If you have any questions you may contact Donna Gilbreth at
271-2060 or Diana DeCota at 271-2206.
