LSSI Gets Its First Contract in Florida; LibraryJournal.com, 12/30/11

Andrew McIntyre, LibraryJournal.com; LSSI Gets Its First Contract in Florida:

"In a move that is predicted to save $1 million or more annually, one central Florida county will soon outsource management of its branch libraries to Library Systems & Services (LSSI), a private, for-profit company based in Germantown, MD.

The Osceola County Board of County Commissioners voted 3-2 on December 12 to allow LSSI to take over management of the six-branch Osceola Library System. The deal begins Tuesday, and it is LSSI's first contract in Florida."
