Metropolitan Library System
The Metropolitan Library System (MLS) was an association of academic, public, school, and special libraries in Chicago and its suburbs in Cook, DuPage and Will counties. On July 1, 2011, Metropolitan Library System merged with Alliance Library System, DuPage Library System, North Suburban Library System, and Prairie Area Library System to form the Reaching Across Illinois Library System. Sarah Ann Long, director of the North Suburban Library System, summarized the evolution of organizations in northern Illinois in a 2011 essay,"Context is Everything." [1]

gollark: I wonder if there's a way to make it fairer. Maybe measure latency then delay stuff based on that. It would be hard and probably abusable though.
gollark: It would be a few MB/s, but my computer is on Ethernet via powerline adapter.
gollark: At home, 300KB/s with 25ms latency (powerline adapters are awful).
