It’s time for the ILA Library Legislative Meetups! With the future of the IMLS uncertain and potential funding cuts looming, now is the time to act!
This is your chance to speak directly with legislators, thank them for their support of libraries, and advocate for IMLS and the resources your library needs to continue its programming and services.
Library advocates, trustees, directors, and staff from public, school, and academic libraries are strongly encouraged to attend and participate.
The ILA Library Legislative Meetups Schedule
- Metro East and Southern Illinois—Tuesday, November 18
- Central and Northwest Illinois—Wednesday, November 19
- South Suburban and West Suburban—Tuesday, December 2

Advanced registration is required to attend the meetups. Please check the registration deadline so you don’t miss your chance to attend! On-site registration is not available.
