| Algonquin Area Public Library District | Yes | | Yes | No | |
| Arlington Heights Memorial Library | No | No | Yes | No | We have no immediate plans to get Blu-ray, but as requests increase we will likely begin purchasing them at some point in the future--especially if/when we are able to upgrade our resurfacing machine to handle them. |
| Cary Area Public Library District | No | No | No | Yes | When we do get Blu-Ray we will have to cut back on DVD ordering |
| Cook Memorial Public Library District | Yes | | Yes | No | We own about 200 Blu-ray titles. Demand has been steady. |
| Deerfield Public Library | No | No | Yes | No | We have not made a decision yet about Blu-Ray. While we have had a few requests from patrons, the demand does not seem to be great. |
| Des Plaines Public Library | Yes | | Yes | No | |
| Dundee Township Public Library District | No | No | No | No | There is no plan to purchase Blu-Ray this fiscal year. |
| Ela Area Public Library District | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Our Blu-ray collection has been circulating fairly well. Focus on new releases, especially action, sci/fi, and animated films. |
| Elk Grove Village Public Library | Yes | | Yes | Yes | |
| Fox River Grove Public Library District | No | No | No | | We actually have a few Blu-Ray discs (that were purchased accidentally) among our DVDs now and they do not circulate. Patrons have not asked for Blu-Ray at all and we have no plans of adding them to our collection until demand increases. |
| Fremont Public Library District | No | No | No | | |
| Glencoe Public Library | No | No | No | No | We have had virtually no requests for Blu-Ray discs. |
| Grayslake Area Public Library District | No | No | No | | |
| Highland Park Public Library | Yes | | Yes | Yes | The Library has only recently started acquiring titles in this format. We are still monitoring demand before deciding how much of the film budget will be diverted to purchasing blu-ray discs. |
| Lake Forest Library | No | No | No | No | We will start carrying the Blu-Rays when there are enough interests. |
| Lake Villa Public Library District | Yes | | Yes | No | |
| McHenry Public Library District | Yes | | | No | The Blu-ray collection is circulating very well but we still consider it a tester collection with only 35 items. We'll buy more, especially of blockbuster movies, but it won't be at the expense of buying more DVDs. |
| Morton Grove Public Library | No | No | Yes | No | Purchasing Blu-Ray DVDs is under discussion and will probably begin in the 2010 fiscal year. There have been a few requests from patrons but not enough to start purchasing mid-year. The answer to #4 should be "maybe" -- won't know until we review the budget. |
| Mount Prospect Public Library | No | No | No | No | Still waiting for significant patron demand and/or increase in market share. |
| Niles Public Library District | No | No | No | No | Our PS3 videogames (which have Blu-Ray) have been damaged much more easily than other disks, so it would take a lot of demand for us to begin purchasing Blu-Ray DVDs. |
| Northbrook Public Library | Yes | | Yes | Yes | We have not yet made them available to the public. We are developing a collection to introduce a little later in the year. |
| Palatine Public Library District | No | No | Yes | | |
| Round Lake Area Public Library District | No | No | No | | |
| Skokie Public Library | Yes | | Yes | No | |
| Vernon Area Public Library District | No | Yes | No | Yes | We have only had a couple of patrons ask about blu-ray. A blu-ray copy will take the place of one copy of the regular dvd's for specific titles, e.g. instead of buying 6 regular copies we would buy 5 regular plus 1 blu-ray. |
| Warren-Newport Public Library District | No | No | Yes | No | We have had some interest from patrons but not a lot. We did consider adding Blu-Ray in recent months and learned that this format has not taken as big of a share of the market as expected. We will revist again next year. The library receives more requests for games which we don't currently offer. |
| Wauconda Area Public Library District | Yes | | Yes | Yes | |
| Wilmette Public Library District | No | No | No | No | |
| Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District | No | Yes | No | No | |
| Zion-Benton Public Library District | No | No | No | Yes | Our patrons have not been asking for Blu-Ray yet that I know of. |
