FY2012 TAE/TExpress Pricing 

Amigos Library Services has finalized pricing for the TAE/TExpress Courier Service for FY2012, September 2011 through August 2012. (Read more...)

 

Non-participant Misdirects 

Amigos continues to receive misdirected packages intended for institutions who are either no longer with the courier service or who have never participated.
