As the students start to return, we invite you to revisit the information that is available on the ILDS website. Detailed ILDS instructions and the ILDS participant training slides are useful tools for training new staff on the label making process. Review the current list of ILDS participants.

Labeling Bags for Delivery

Please check 3-letter codes carefully when labeling bags for ILDS delivery. Many school names sound similar, or have similar ILDS codes. We continue to receive reports of bags that are delivered to the wrong location because they were mislabeled resulting in delayed delivery for our patrons. Please refer to the list often to ensure that all staff are aware of the locations that are direct stops, as well as the proper code to use.

Damaged or Excess Delivery Bags

If you have an excess supply of bags, return them to the State Library for redistribution. If you have damaged bags, please return the bags to the Illinois State Library. They will determine whether or not the bags can be repaired or if they will have to be discarded.

As always, please send any questions, comments, and suggestions to support@carli.illinois.edu.
