The Reaching Across Illinois Library System is a regional library system consisting of 1,300 public, academic, special, and school library members, representing more than 3,500 library facilities in Northern Illinois.[2] The regional library system was created in 2011 when the Alliance Library System, DuPage Library System, Metropolitan Library System, North Suburban Library System, and Prairie Area Library System merged.[3]

In Illinois, regional library systems were established by state law. [4]
