The exhibits are free and will open Wednesday, October 7, from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m., and

available at the ILA Registration Desk at Peoria Civic Center. There are currently 94 companies signed
up to exhibit in 119 booths.
Please note that exhibits will not be open on Friday, October 9.
In addition to learning about new products and
services, attending the exhibits provides valuable continuing education
experiences for library staff.
Poster Sessions and Talk Tables will be held on the exhibit floor on
both Wednesday and Thursday.
Topics range from consumer health resources in public libraries and
screen casting on a budget to laptop lending programs and coaching teens for
job interviews.

The U.S. Dept of Education Guidance Title I Funds Provided under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
|
G-13. May Title I, Part A ARRA funds be used to purchase library books for a Title I school?
In a Title I school operating a schoolwide program, Title I, Part A ARRA funds may be used to purchase library books if using the funds for that purpose is consistent with needs identified in the comprehensive needs assessment and articulated in the schoolwide plan. In addition, prior to
using Title I, Part A ARRA funds for this purpose, an LEA must ensure that the schoolwide school receives all the local or State funds to which it is entitled for the purpose of purchasing library books.
Given that library books are generally available to all students in a school, Title I, Part A ARRA funds may not be used to purchase library books for a Title I school operating a targeted assistance program. Such a school, however, might use Title I, Part A ARRA funds to purchase books that would supplement the reading materials otherwise used with Title I participating students. Check it out.
