What’s new: The city says it was approached by the company, Library Systems & Services, which proposed that it could save the city money. A city spokesperson says the RFP’s “intent is to gather additional information on these services and the companies who provide them.” Some supporters of the library fear the move to outsource could lead to a decline in quality.
