  4. The Two Businesses of Delivery • Service to Member Libraries • Service to Non-Member Libraries

  5. Why Service to Non-Members? • There was no delivery network in place to connect regional delivery networks and other types of libraries in the state in support of ILL. • The Postal Service (and other package delivery outfits like UPS, FedEx) was costly and not always the fastest. • SCLS piloted, with LSCA funds, delivery routes to various participants in NE & SE WI. It was very successful in that is was cheaper for everyone and, most of the time, faster. • In short, this service was needed and no one was doing anything about it, so we (Bob Blitzke and Peter Hamon) decided to do it.

  6. Really?

  7. $ The revenue we receive from non-member libraries is more than the amount it costs to provide delivery service to non-member libraries.

  8. Trifecta of System Funding • State Aid • Interest • Delivery Profit • Think of it as supplemental state aid and member fees. It can be thought to cover all areas.

  9. Sources of Funding by Department

  10. At First Glance • $800,000 from state aid and member fees • $1,400,000 from non-member fees • If just SCLS, cost of current service would be in $1,200,000 range. • Much would need to be reconsidered…positions, facility, etc. • Difference due to fixed shared overhead costs and increased profitability of UW Contract. • Initial estimate is SCLS funding needs to increase around $90,000 or 12% • Still working on settling statewide service levels. Much to be determined. • Does not include the other work we need to do to determine real expected costs and needed revenue.

  11. Quite Secure A large part of what we do for non-members is on very solid ground. • A large portion of service we provide to non-members exists within our borders. • A central distribution hub is necessary for this service. • What may change is we do less routes outside our borders. This may be either less frequency or expansion of subcontracting to other couriers.

  12. What We Can Do? • Seek and implement efficiencies. • Review expenditures to trim where possible and also determine areas with increases. • Consider and pursue other business. • Consider delivery service reductions where possible in regards to load capacities. • Consider fee increases.
