Consultant Services for Centralizing Library Operations

Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) is seeking a firm to help our library cooperative move from a distributed system for collection management and technical services (where each library performs these functions independently) to a centralized system (where WCCLS will be responsible for these functions). This work will require a contractor who has experience working with multi-agency consortia, leading co-design processes with stakeholders, creating library workflows and technical specifications, and supporting implementation of those workflows. The contractor will work under the direction of WCCLS and work closely with our project team, beginning work in January 2026 with a deadline of centralizing collection management and purchasing at WCCLS by July 1, 2027. The contractor may be asked to continue supporting implementation and refining processes through June 2028.
