group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Washington State has never had a courier system for libraries so our innovation was figuring out a way for us to keep the kits moving from library to library without charging
the hosting library for shipping costs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Our administrative assistants are able to email the shipping label to the library which has the kit and this covers the shipping costs from one library location to the
next library location. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The biggest problem: watch the DIMENSIONS of the shipping boxes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The Mindstorms kit has proven to be a problem. When we bought the cases, they were not considered “oversize”. Occasionally someone at Fed Ex does a “spot check”. The
shipping costs then skyrockets from $15 to $90.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
