The Moving Mountains Project is an ad hoc group of librarians working with the physical delivery of library materials.  Through our web site, meetings, conferences, and our LISTSERV we share information on managing delivery, creating best practices, and developing innovative new projects and programs.  Everyone is welcome to become involved; just sign up for the LISTSERV and attend any of our events.
