Online Material Access
Ever wonder why there is a wait list for an ebook or an audio book-here is the answer...Libraries pay more for these materials than the regular consumer. This information was presented to library trustees in the area at the Trustee Legislative meet up. At this meeting, Trustees have lunch with the state legislators to discuss how laws affect our local libraries. The issue of pricing of online materials is a very important discussion because it affects every library. Please see the information below and then reach out to your Illinois Representatives and Senators to tell them to support the Fair Pricing of online materials.
