Find More Illinois is an interlibrary loan platform with over 80 participating libraries. The platform currently provides participating libraries with access to over seven million items in one seamless interface. Libraries of all types and sizes are able to join the platform at any time during the year.
To better understand how Find More Illinois impacts libraries and their communities, we visited seven participating libraries and asked them to reflect on their experiences with the interlibrary loan platform.
We compiled these stories to create a two-minute promotional video that explores why they decided to join, what the setup process was like, and why other libraries in Illinois should consider joining.
Thank you to everyone that graciously opened their doors and allowed us to film in their spaces:
Helen Plum Memorial Library District
Highwood Library & Community Center
Knoxville High School
Normal Public Library
Old Town School of Folk Music
Parlin-Ingersoll Public Library
Vernon Hills High School
