Service Update: Temporary Route Cancellations in Edwardsville
by Colleen Dettenmeier 05 Sep '25

05 Sep '25

Dear Members, You may have noticed that we've had an unusually high number of route cancellations this week, and unfortunately, we anticipate more in the coming weeks. These cancellations are due to an unexpected temporary reduction in our delivery workforce. Please rest assured that we are doing everything possible to maintain service to all libraries. To manage this as effectively and fairly as possible, we are rotating routes to cancel rather than cancel the same route each day. These adjustments will continue over the next few weeks until we can return to full staffing. We understand the importance of timely delivery and are committed to minimizing the impact of these changes. Our team is working diligently to continue providing delivery to all member libraries. Below is the current schedule of planned route cancellations for the next two weeks. To streamline communication, we will no longer send daily text updates about route cancellations for the dates listed below. Instead, we will now send this single email listing all affected routes. Upcoming Route Cancellations: * Tuesday, September 9 - Route 1 * Friday, September 12 - Route 5 * Tuesday, September 16 - Route 6 * Thursday, September 18 - Route 3 We will provide timely updates if there are any changes to this schedule. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work through this temporary staffing challenge. Best Regards, Colleen Dettenmeier Delivery & Facilities Director cdettenmeier(a)illinoisheartland.org<mailto:cdettenmeier@illinoisheartland.org> 618.474.9921<tel:618-474-9921> (teams) 618.484.8691<tel:618-484-8691> (cell) Illinois Heartland Library System Imagining Tomorrow, Delivering Possibilities Today! www.illinoisheartland.org<http://www.illinoisheartland.org/> * 618.656.3216<tel:618-656-3216> Carbondale * Champaign * Edwardsville Book a Consultation<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/TheExpertIsIn@illinoisheartland.…> * Subscribe to E-News<https://www.illinoisheartland.org/signup> * Submit Library News <https://airtable.com/appPknutFUAc83M2Y/pagZHOTBxMGmAUnhI/form>

Edwardsville Hub Now Sorting with Sorting Machine – Important Updates for SHARE Members
by Colleen Dettenmeier 13 May '25

13 May '25

Dear Edwardsville Hub SHARE Members, We’re excited to announce that the Edwardsville hub has officially begun using the sorting machine for processing SHARE member items! As we transition into this new phase, please take note of the following important reminders and updates: * Transit Labels: We will continue using transit labels for SHARE member-to-member deliveries through December 31, as part of the ongoing barcode duplication project. When applying transit labels, please ensure the barcode remains visible and is not covered, as it will need to be scanned. * Barcode Placement: Whenever possible, place items in tubs with the barcode facing up to help streamline the sorting process. * Mailers: Items placed in padded mailers will be removed before sorting. To avoid this, please discontinue the use of padded mailers. If additional protection is needed, we recommend using a clear envelope instead. * Rubber Bands: Rubber bands should not be used to secure items closed, as they can interfere with machine processing. We will remove the rubber bands if they interfere with the sorting process. * Tub Weight Limit: The tub weight limit will remain at 40 pounds, though we recommend keeping tubs to 35 pounds for ease of handling. Please do not fill the tubs past the yellow fill line indicated by the stickers inside. * Items in Tubs Delivered to You: Items delivered to your library may appear slightly different than what you are accustomed to. The machine sorts items by directing them left and right, which means they may not arrive perfectly stacked as they did in the past. Our sorting staff is working to straighten up the tubs as items are sorted, but they may still look different. We will print memos for each library and its branches, sending them with our drivers on Monday. Please contact me if you would like an additional copy! Thank you for your cooperation and support as we continue to improve our services. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
