[aisle] Quick question for suburban librarians

Tue Mar 8 15:56:29 CST 2022

Hi, Jill,

The statewide database package RAILS proposed<https://mcusercontent.com/2c51285b8d63e23716bce030f/files/6c5a63d6-e51e-1b6c-c71b-b5bb7aa987a8/Statewide_Database_Proposal_Revised_2021.pdf> has not moved forward in the legislature. We continue to look for ways to move an initiative forward. If anything changes, we will be sure to share with the RAILS membership via the weekly RAILS E-News (You can sign up at https://www.railslibraries.info/newsletters if you don’t already subscribe).

Best,
~Leila

Some state libraries like California and Kansas are providing statewide access to online databases.  From what I understand they use your IP address to ensure you are within the state.  No login needed.  I thought Illinois was trying to do something like that, but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

In St. Charles, our school board and public library signed intergovernmental agreements allowing for the verification and what each party will offer each other.  It's been amazing!!!

This is the same in Lombard.  All of our teachers can checkout books but our students have to be residents to get a free library card.  All kids can participate in programs but cannot check out books if they don't have a library card.

I've been trying to get library cards for our unincorporated students in Glenview and Northbrook for years!  There was finally a law passed in Illinois that makes this possible.  Glenview Public Library wants documentation of our free/reduced lunch students, and then will provide a library card for them.  I'm having trouble getting our administration to give this information to the library due to privacy concerns.  I've asked that they contact the families to get permission to give the library their name, but that hasn't happened..

This should be a really easy thing -- every child under the age of 18 should automatically get a FREE library card -- no quedstions asked -- but those in charge (federal, state, local, and district) have not made this happen.

I would love to be a part of a coalition to address this issue!

Do any of your cities/communities/villages offer public library cards to all enrolled students by default? In the registration paperwork or something to that effect? If so, would you be willing to connect briefly with me?

We are pursuing this as a potential option for our students in Chicago and although we are pretty gigantic, I'd love to learn from and adapt some of the work you or your administration have done with the public library to make this happen.

Thanks,
Kara
