Planning is in full force, and Minitex delivery staff began going back into the office on a part-time basis starting this week.

The REstarting Physical Delivery Safely (REDS) Taskforce brings together library leaders from across Minnesota to formulate a plan to restart the physical delivery of library materials statewide.
