As the LASER inter-regional van service will no longer operate, items will
have to be sent to 'ex-LASER' libraries by post.
I have just phoned HAYS DX who have confirmed that this is the case. Only
organsations who are customers of HAYS DX can use their service to transport
items to other HAYS DX customers.
HAYS DX also informed me that there has been a hold-up in doing 'test-runs'
to member libraries, and in the delivery of the paperwork which libraries
will need to complete in order to despatch items.
So, it's fingers crossed for next Monday !

Could anyone explain, for those of us outside LASER, will this new firm
run the regional van system (ie can we still send items to you by van)? or
is is a courier, in which case we will have to post items to you.
Yours,
