Election for RAILS Board Open (Vote by May 12)
Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries Forum (IACRL)
April 26, 2017(via Debbie Baaske, Reaching Across Illinois Library System)
Please take a moment to vote in the RAILS Board election. Each RAILS library agency (main academic library building) can cast one ballot. Usually, the library director casts the ballot.
There is an academic library seat on the ballot and four candidates are running for this seat. In addition, three candidates are running for one school library seat and four candidates are running for four public library trustee seats. You can read about the candidates, see a map with their location, and vote all at the same link.
Since RAILS Board members act on important issues affecting the system and represent the interests of all members throughout our 27,000 square mile area, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of RAILS! The deadline for voting is Friday, May 12, at 5:00 PM.
