Summary & Background
The Fulton County Library System (FCLS) is renewing a contract to provide shelf-ready foreign language books. This is the first renewal option with one remaining. The purpose of this request is to provide the library with new materials and replacement copies of worn and grubby titles.
Scope of Work: The Library System desires fiction and non-fiction materials in all subject areas that are written in Hindi, Korean, Chinese, Farsi, Arabic and Russian. The vendor is to provide an inventory of adult fiction and non-fiction (in all Dewey ranges) large enough to supply the range and languages of books described above. The library expects a fill-rate that meets or exceeds 90% of all items ordered.
Community Impact: There is no community impact.
Department Recommendation: The County recommends approval of this contract.
Project Implications: There are no project implications if this is not approved.
Community Issues/Concerns: The library system will need to reduce the amount of shelf ready books to purchase foreign language books. This would decrease the overall spending for physical material.
Department Issues/Concerns: There are no department issues or concerns.
