It also provides information concerning the loose consortium between the member libraries and nearby academic libraries, ETSU and Northeast State Community College. The purpose of the Northeast Tennessee Library Network is to cooperate in continually improving the availability and delivery of library and information services to the 440,000 residents of Northeast Tennessee.
