  1. Blue Sky Express Shipping Guide Interlibrary Delivery Linking Kansas and Colorado Courier Service

  2. Welcome to Blue Sky Express • ALL Kansas Library Express members can ship to many Colorado libraries at no additional cost using this service. • The service will deliver requests made through OCLC libraries in both states. • It is also serves as a general delivery service for shipping between participating courier libraries in Kansas and Colorado.

  3. How to Prepare Shipments Colorado shipments require a library’s Courier Code. The code is the letter “C” followed by 3-digits. Courier Codes are required for all items sent to Colorado locations. Items cannot be delivered with only a physical address.

  4. Use Colorado Courier Code • Check the list of Colorado courier libraries on the Blue Sky Express webpage: • http://kslibexpress.mykansaslibrary.org/blue-sky-express/colorado-blue-sky-express-libraries-list/ • Find the Courier Code of the requesting library.

  5. Identify Courier Code • The Courier Code will also appear as the top line of the shipping address in OCLC. For example: C106 (Courier Code) Aurora Public Library 14949 East Alameda Parkway Aurora, CO 80012

  6. Find Shipping Label • Search the shipping labels for Colorado libraries using the Courier Code. These labels are at http://henryindustriesinc.com/ • Look under “Services” tab for CO Blue Sky Libraries. • Confirm that the library name on the label retrieved is the requesting library.

  7. Print Shipping Label • Print the selected label. Choose “current page” from your printer dialog box so only one label sheet is printed. • A sheet of 6 labels will print at one time. Extra labels may be filed for future use. • Trim one label to be inserted into the address window of a courier shipping bag.

  8. Package Materials • Use Kansas Library Express nylon bags to ship materials via Blue Sky Express. • Colorado uses rubber bands to keep books closed during shipment (optional but recommended). • Cushion media materials with bubble wrap or cardboard sleeves.  • Use large bags only when required to limit shifting of materials during shipment.

  9. Pick-up and Delivery • Blue Sky Express shipments will be picked up and delivered by your Kansas Library Express courier. • Colorado shipments will be packaged in bundles according to their shipping procedures.
