Replace the Library Delivery Vans and Keep Knowledge Rolling
Help keep the stories moving. Our delivery vans are the backbone of JCLC's services, but they are now aged and unreliable. Upgrade the vans that move the volumes!
After 10 years and 700,000 miles, the engine of resource sharing is riding rough. It is time to replace the delivery vans. Donate today and fuel the next generation of library delivery.
