<div dir="ltr">Hi Linda! Virginia is currently the only Bookpoints user now that California dropped out of its development for fiscal reasons. I am very happy with Galecia Company's responsiveness to our feedback. This will be the 3rd year of our commitment with them and it has been a happy option over Evanced for ease of use and price over the others.<div><br></div><div>Lori Ayer (

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just read over all of the past emails about online summer reading – and I still have a question… our contract with Evanced/Wandoo is over at the end of this summer, and unlike some of you, we have big buy in - so I really want to continue
to provide this service.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To avoid having to put out an RFP, I am looking for other state contracts with ReadSquared, or Beanstack, or Counting Opinions. Apparently I can avoid that whole process by going on another state contract. Are you willing to share yours?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALSO, when I was reading over past emails, I saw that there was one (2016) called Bookpoints that was being developed by California. Looks like it’s open source, but I really don’t know what that means in terms of what it takes to run it.
Is anyone using this? If so, how does that work?<u></u><u></u></p>
