preference on continuing with the upgrade or not

New upgrade requests will be at the member’s cost

Connection Upgrades

Membership Services, For-Fee Services and Connectivity are all separate service decisions

Most connections carry an early termination fee (ETP), typically equivalent to the Monthly Recurring Cost for each month remaining in the circuit term (normally 1, 3 or 5 years)◦ ETPs are each member’s responsibility◦ For your reference, MOREnet will share any

applicable ETPs with each library as of July 1

Please Remember

Additional Services sponsored by REAL are on hold pending funding availability

Including:◦ Annual conference registrations and sleeping

rooms◦ Wireless assessments◦ Sponsored training courses or regional events

REAL-Sponsored Services

At that time, MOREnet will work with the State Library to address the available funds and how these can be applied to members’ service fees

When REAL Funding is Released

We are happy to talk with each of you about your individual library fees and can help you explore available options for modifying your services
