The Alliance Library System is one of nine Multitype library systems cooperating to provide vital library services to the citizens of Illinois. Our membership includes school, academic, public and special libraries. Our service to our membership includes consulting, continuing education, resource sharing and delivery of library materials.
What this means for the libraries:
· Free consulting: We have a staff of consultants with a variety of library experience. This group has created some tremendous resources to help you run your libraries more efficiently. Visit our consulting & continuing education group online at http://www.alliancelibrarysystem.com/indexCE.cfm.
· Free or low cost continuing education: Our consulting & continuing education group maintains a calendar of continuing education and other networking events at http://www.librarylearning.info/?LibSys=ALS. These opportunities occur at our headquarters in East Peoria, Illinois, at various other locations throughout the Alliance Library System, and even on-line.
· Group Purchases: The Alliance Library System also strives to stretch its member libraries funding by maximizing our purchasing power; by joining together we have been able to offer a variety of discount prices with several library vendors and suppliers. Our group purchases information can be found at http://www.alliancelibrarysystem.com/indexGroupPurchases.cfm.
· Grants: The Innovation Department at the Alliance Library System is always on the lookout for grants that help our libraries in various ways – expanding collections, providing programs and providing other resources are just some of the opportunities that we have provided for our members.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!
