2011-2012 ILA Annual Report

Check out ILA's Annual Report, "Delivering the Goods," to see all the things you helped us accomplish in 2011-2012.  Once again ILA ended the year in the black, thanks in large part to strong sales of iREAD and other strategies to diversify revenues and contain costs while growing program offerings and member benefits.  Special thanks to the 2011-2012 ILA Executive Board for their outstanding leadership and hard work!  From the LSTA-funded delivery study to a first-ever conference in Rosemont, new office space and more, the report is available on the ILA website and bound in the October issue of the ILA Reporter.

Illinois Library Law & Rules in Effect October 2012
2012 edition will ship in October 

This book is a must-have for Illinois' library directors, boards, trustees, elected officials, and others affected by state law governing library decisions.  We've been working closely with the Illinois State Library and Thomson Reuters, the world's foremost legal publisher, to prepare and produce an updated version of this indispensable guide to the most current state statutes and regulations affecting libraries.

 

Several new rules regarding such things as regional library system membership, reciprocal borrowing, and state grants that took effect in July 2012 are included.  The statute section has been updated with changes occurring since the previous 2010 edition, including laws passed but not in effect until 2013.  This edition also includes ethics statutes that were not part of earlier editions.

 

Order through the ILA website, or by phone (312-644-1896), fax (312-644-1899), or e-mail.  Please be sure to specify 2012 edition, and orders will be shipped as soon as available.  Cost is $25 for ILA members, $40 for non-members.
