Become a Find More Illinois Library
Find More Illinois is expanding to become a bigger, better resource for discovery and fulfillment. Any Illinois library is eligible to participate, regardless of library size, type, or integrated library system status.
In-person presentation and webinars were held in fall 2018. More are scheduled for early 2019; see Library Learning (L2) for details. Contact Jane Plass if you would like a link to a recorded webinar.
