Welcome to the Hometown Countryside Connection
Alliance Library System - Hometown Countryside Connection

Hometown Countryside Connection (HCC) is a community information network designed by librarians in the Alliance Library System and by Infobahn Outfitters. Approximately 50 libraries in communities in central and western Illinois have participated in HCC. HCC was made possible by grants from the Illinois State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State.

 

Dedicated to Nancy Zebrun, former ALS consultant and one of the project creators.
