Illinois Library Systems Make a
Difference!

Illinois Library Systems Make a
Difference! 01/16/2004 11:28 AM

In case you're not familiar with how Illinois is divided into regional library systems, here's a quick overview. There are 13 of them covering the entire State, although it will soon be down to nine this summer due to two mergers currently underway. I work at the Suburban Library System, which is the consortial headquarters for academic, public, school, and special libraries in Chicago's south suburbs. (We're currently investigating merging with Chicago Multi-type Library System.) The Systems do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that helps make Illinois libraries as great as they are, facilitating shared catalogs, delivery, interlibrary loan, reciprocal borrowing, technology initiatives, group purchases, grants, and more.

The Il linois Library Systems FY2003 Annual Report just came out and is available in PDF format. Here are some of the more interesting statistics from it:

• The shared catalogs of the Systems held a grand total of 43,665,833 holdings last year. In fact, Illinois libraries own an average of more than 9 items for every household in Illinois.
   
• Those shared catalogs circulated 42,121,007 items last year, with Illinois residents checking out more than 80 items per minute!
   
• There's a great chart on the back page that breaks down the costs and values of just a few of the System services, which comes out to a total value of $295,288,397. Of course, that's not even remotely, nearly, even-on-this-planet close to the amount of funding we receive.
   
• Here's what I consider to be the kicker, though. "For every dollar the State spent on cooperative library systems in FY2003, the citizens of Illinois received $14 in services, a 14 to 1 return on investment."

And yet, our Governor has cut funding for libraries and library systems, plans to make further cuts during the next fiscal year, and is divert ing money to buy children one book per month, rather than giving that money to libraries.

Yo, Rod - give library systems that money and get a 14 to 1 return on your investment! Do the math and fund our libraries, for the good of every Illinois resident!

Abandoned Railway Stations

Abandoned Railway Stations 03/20/2003 08:30 AM
Servi ceton is a small railway town on the border of South Australia and Victoria, and was once a means for traders to escape taxes when travelling between the colonies, due to errors made when surveying the state borders. No train has stopped here since 1986, and now only a handful of people remain in the town, a sad downfall that Tom Waits has immortalized in song. But abandoned railway stations, closed as populations decline or trade routes change, exist the world over, in the city and in the country, and yes, even in France. They look like great places to explore.
