Estacado Library Information Network

Five libraries -- Hobbs Public Library, Lovington Public Library, Pannell Library (NMJC), Scarborough Memorial Library (CSW), Woolworth Community Library (Jal) -- have been working together since 1996 to improve information sevices in southeastern New Mexico. Carlsbad Public Library joined the consortium in 2002 followed by Eunice Public Library in 2007.

ELIN offers the libraries and citizens of southeastern New Mexico a variety of benefits:

• Pooling financial resources to access online databases, enabling more digital resources to be available than could be purchased individually by each library.
• The same library system for all participating libraries, facilitating ease of use and providing twenty-four-hour systems access from remote home computers and other libraries.
• Full Internet and information access for all residents.
