CLPL would like to extend our thanks to the many patrons who contacted the offices of Governor Quinn and Comptroller Hynes to save Illinois’ library systems on January 20.  In just over 24 hours the governor and comptroller received more than 20,000 e-mails, which resulted in partial payments from the state to the majority of Illinois’ library systems. 

“This is only a reprieve,” said Sarah Long, executive director of North Suburban Library System (NSLS) the system that serves CLPL.   Although funds were released to the systems on January 22, NSLS received only 25% of the 50% that should have been received by December 31. 

The importance of NSLS to our community is primarily related to our van delivery service.  Last year NSLS delivery service handled five million transactions for its member libraries.  CLPL received 157,846 items via the NSLS van delivery at no cost to our Library.  If the same items were transported via the US Post Office, UPS, FedEx or DHL the total would have been approximately $694,522.40.
