FY08/FY09 Massachusetts Regional Library Systems Materials and Supply Cooperative

(July 1, 2007-June 30, 2009)

The FY08 MARLS Cooperative has been rolled over for another year. A majority of vendors, with the exception of Shopper Inc and Archival Products, will be extending their bids through the FY09 fiscal year.

All Metrowest members currently enrolled in the FY08 cooperation are automatically eligible to continue participation in the coop without additional paperwork. Any member who wishes to join the coop, or add either the supply or material component, is required to fill out the participation and pledge forms and return them to the regional office for processing. New members will be added to the coop on a quarterly basis.

To access current cooperative purchasing information please visit http://www.wmrls.org/coop/index.html A list with vendor contact information, as well as details about the supplies and materials, can be referenced and downloaded at this site.

If you need further information, or have questions or problems regarding the coop, please contact Judy Zomer at jzomer@mmrls.org  or call the office at 781-398-1819.
