Many of you probably know already that the Champaign and Urbana libraries are getting their own circulation system. If you haven't heard about that yet, you can get more details here.
This will have some effects on Monticello library patrons. First, no one with a Monticello card will be able to use the Champaign or Urbana libraries between Nov. 1 and Dec. 7. Then, starting Dec. 8, you can bring your library cards and photo IDs to Champaign or Urbana to be entered into their new circulation system. Then you will be able to borrow items from Champaign and Urbana directly.
However, interlibrary loan delivery will be changed. We strongly advise against dropping Champaign or Urbana items off here in Monticello, because we won't be able to check the items in. They will be put in transit back to Champaign or Urbana, which could take many days, and they will be checked in only after they arrive back, meaning you could end up with late fees. The same goes for Monticello items being dropped off in Champaign or Urbana.
Also, if you want to request something that belongs to Champaign or Urbana, you will have to place a special order with a librarian here if you want it delivered to Monticello. Once you are registered in the new circulation system at Champaign/Urbana, you will be able to access their catalog online and place requests, but you won't be able to get them delivered directly to Monticello.
