Dear Forest Gregg,
The Palatine Public Library District received your FOIA request below on Monday, November 8, 2021. Due to the large volume of documents to be compiled, we will need an additional five days to complete the request. We anticipate responding by November 18, 2021.
Regarding the electronic upload of documents, the link you provided does not work. When I request a new token, I get an email with a link that also does not work. I anticipate that the files will be too large to send via email, and the Library does not CD drives for saving the information.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Dilger, Executive Director (she/her)
