The library is a member of Cooperative Computer Services (CCS), the North Suburban Library System (NSLS), and the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC).

CCS

CCS is a consortium of 24 public libraries in the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago that share the same automation system.

From the Huntley Area Public Library’s catalog, change the library selection to all or a specific library to search additional collections in CCS. You may use your Huntley Library card to check out books at these locations or place holds to have library materials transferred to the Huntley Area Public Library. Some materials, such as reference books, may not be eligible for transfer.

NSLS

NSLS is a consortium of over 650 academic, public, school, and special libraries in north suburban Cook, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties.

If you do not find the library materials you need in the CCS system, you may also use your Huntley Library card at other public libraries in NSLS. Click here to access the catalogs of other public libraries in NSLS. Contact the library’s reference desk at 847-669-5386 ext. 21 if you would like to have the library materials transferred to the Huntley Area Public Library on interlibrary loan. Some materials, such as reference books, may not be eligible for transfer.

OCLC

OCLC is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization. Libraries cooperatively maintain the Illinois Catalog and WorldCat, which list the holdings of libraries in Illinois and throughout the country.

If you do not find the library materials you need in CCS or a local NSLS library, you may try searching the Illinois Catalog and WorldCat using the OCLC FirstSearch Service. This service includes access to 16 databases, including the Illinois Catalog and WorldCat, as well as periodical databases. Huntley Library cardholders may call the library’s reference desk at 847-669-5386 ext. 21 to receive a password to access this service from home.
