We are now Illinois Heartland Library System

The four library systems in the southern part of the state of Illinois merged in 2011.  This included Lewis and Clark, Shawnee, Rolling Prairie and Lincoln Trails.  Please go to the website:  http://www.cooperationtoday.org to become better informed on this merger. 

If you are using My Media Mall to download books you will need to now use Illinois Heartland.

We will try to keep you informed of any changes.
