We're Sparking Innovation and Imagination in Peoria! 

In 2024, we will embark on a journey that will spark imagination and innovation with the ILA Conference theme: Libraries are Lit: Sparking Innovation and Imagination. We will celebrate the dynamic role we play in initiating creativity, inspiring new ideas and fostering innovation within our communities. Our conference this year will be in Peoria, located in the heart of Illinois, where we’ll explore how we can enrich relationships that spark collaboration, inclusivity, dialogue, and understanding.
