On May 31, 2010, all NSLS full-time employees (except delivery staff) were laid off. The only member service NSLS will provide in the immediate future is van delivery. This scaled down version of the NSLS website will remain up until further notice.

NSLS is looking into merging with another Illinois library system or systems as soon as possible. We will keep members informed on our progress with the merger and any other service changes or important news via the blog below, as well as through our maillists and Communities of Practice (CoPs). View current status of services.

If you need to contact NSLS after May 31, you may contact Mary Witt, 847-353-7144, or Jan Hayes, 847-353-7130. You will most likely need to leave a message. Responses will be made as soon as possible.


Thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult financial times.
