About Us

NSLS is a consortium of over 650 academic, public, school, and special libraries in north suburban Cook, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties. Due to a severe lack of funding, the only service NSLS is able to provide is van delivery. If you have a question about van delivery, contact Don Johnson.
