IHLS and SHARE
As a patron of our library, you're part of a larger network called the Illinois Heartland Library System (IHLS). This system provides a variety of services, including interlibrary loan delivery and digital collections. Our library is also part of SHARE, a consortium of over 300 libraries in central and southern Illinois. This partnership allows us to share resources, which helps provide you with a wider selection of materials and improved technology for a better library experience.
