EXPECTED DELAYS!
Our longstanding book distributor, Baker & Taylor, has abruptly and unexpectedly ceased operations. As a result, there will be delays in the acquisition of new materials while we transition to a new distributor. In the meantime, we will continue to help you locate materials from both within our own collection and from our partners. As always, we continue to have access to over 8.2 million items through the SHARE library system, and over 1.5 million electronic offerings in our Hoopla Digital collection. We encourage you to contact the library at 217-578-2727 should you need assistance borrowing any materials you have trouble finding.
