Good Afternoon,
Related to this, recently The Library Network in Novi, Michigan [ https://tln.org/ | https://tln.org/ ] coordinated a statewide agreement for Amazon Business Prime. For what I consider to be an extremely reasonable annual cost any library can join Amazon Business Prime. Currently we have over 200 public libraries in Michigan that participate, but a number of academic libraries are on board as well, including the University of Michigan.
I can tell you from discussions with Amazon that they are very interested in expanding these types of agreements to other states.
If anyone is interested in the details, please feel free to email me off list, or give me a call. I would also be happy to discuss via Zoom with anyone who would like to know more.
The last time I reviewed the analytics a couple of weeks ago, Michigan libraries had saved approximately $118,000 in shipping fees as a result of their participation in this project. It is what would be deemed in the business world a very good return on investment.

Subject: Amazon prime for libraries
Hello!
We are hearing that Amazon is ending their Amazon Business line of Credit by Synchrony Bank, so will no longer be able to have Amazon invoicing for books. Just wondered if there were other libraries in the same boat, and what are you doing about it (assuming some of you still don't have access to a credit card). I see they have several [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_businessprime_-3Fref-5F-3Dab-5Fsignpost-5Fbpacq&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=PRWY5HglJzK-73FHHn6mDmXZU050nmGpC-woNFDUUhw&m=AB_y8PAm7Pq1zJDFWTbbqeSwlCLSGKED4nL-zZyEBBg&s=48biZpdsifym2sUCVAjkf0VCvB9Y-Jfc4r8Uf4y_qZI&e= | Business Prime plans ] , but only one extends terms for pay by invoice for 45 days and it's $599.00 per year.
Thanks in advance,
