Courier

MOBIUS contracts with STAT Courier to provide courier service five days a week between our member libraries. STAT drivers pick up and deliver materials between our member libraries and others through our connections with other statewide courier systems, allowing us to deliver materials between our members more efficiently and cost effectively than traditional shipping methods.

We have service connections with Trans-Amigos Express (TAE), Iowa Academic Library Alliance, and Rivershare.
