| During the Holiday Season | |
 ...our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have enriched our lives.
It is in this spirit that we say to the Illinois library community --
"Thank you and best wishes for the holidays and a happy new year."
The ILA office will be closed on Thursday, December 23 and Friday, December 24.

Mark Your Calendar: April 13, 2011 Snapshot Day
|  "Snapshot: One Day in the Life of Illinois Libraries." The purpose of the day is to show how important academic, public, school, and special libraries and library systems are to the state of Illinois. Libraries will collect statistics, comments from library patrons, and photos highlighting a typical day in the library. Each participating library is urged to create a document highlighting the statistics and comments from the day to use as a tool when working with board members, locally elected officials, and state legislators to show them how valuable the library is to the community. For more information, please click here. |
| In the News
Library-related stories appearing in local news media are reflected in this section of the ILA E-News. The intent is to alert and inform the Illinois library community about issues and events that are considered significant by the general media.
