SCOOP ResponsibilitiesSCOOP will maintain a list of its members on the Maine Regional Library System’s Website. SCOOP assumes no responsibility for any business transaction between participating libraries and vendors. Individual Library ResponsibilitiesAll ordering, shipping, and invoicing will be from and to individual libraries. Individual libraries must contact a chosen vendor to establish a new account , specifying that it is a SCOOP member and citing that vendor’s bid number. Failure to do so may result in a library’s not receiving the full SCOOP discount. Carefully note exclusions and details for individual vendors. Since it is impossible to provide the details of all vendor processing and shipping terms, it is incumbent on the individual library to verify these when setting up an account. School librarians are reminded that this discount is intended for purchase of materials for the library - not for teachers.
