How do public libraries transfer books, movies, and other things??

Posted on December 13, 2009 by admin

If you put a hold on a book, one that is in another library, how does that book get to your local library? Is there a library truck or something? Or does it go through mail? just curious//

It depends on how big the library system is. If it’s a large city with several branches, they might use a local courier. If the books are going between cities, they’ll either use the Post Office or a courier like UPS or FedEx.

    Ours goes to one library branch to another through the local mail carrier US POSTAL OFFICE.

    And I live in the 3rd biggest city in Indiana, just so you know.
