The ILA Small and Rural Libraries Forum represents the interests of small and rural libraries in Illinois, provides a forum for staff at all levels and trustees to discuss issues of particular interest to small and rural libraries, and encourages active participation in Illinois library organizations.
You Should Join the SARL Forum If...
- You care about the growth and development of useful library services
- You support opportunities for the continuing education of members
- You enjoy being creative and brainstorming with others
- You want to collaborate with other library and non-library groups to support both organizations' mission
- You get a thrill out of seeing your work in action and getting to actually measure the results
- You want to be a voice for the often voiceless and advocate for rural and small libraries at the local, state, and national levels
We want you to share your input in order to create a forum that best reflects the interests of its members. Help us help you by providing a voice for all the underrepresented small and rural libraries of Illinois.
