Last week I posted about big changes coming to the library system. You can see that if you scroll down or by clicking here.
Now it seems that the Champaign Public Library could lose its membership in the Illinois Heartland system altogether. This is the direct result of Champaign's policy of charging Mahomet and Tolono patrons $200/year if they want to use the Champaign library. I posted a blog about that back when it happened - you can see that here. The News-Gazette has the story about the suspension here. The suspension will have several effects on Champaign library patrons, all of which are outlined on the Illinois Heartland FAQ page seen here.
What does everyone think? Will the Champaign library board cave and drop the policy? Or will they decide to strike out on their own?
