About This Event

Join IHLS members and staff from around central and southern Illinois for our bi-monthly membership forum, IHLS Members Matter. These meetings are where you can hear the latest IHLS system news and from a guest speaker on an important or arising topic facing the library community. IHLS Members Matter events are also opportunities for you to tell IHLS staff and leadership your thoughts, needs, and how IHLS can better help provide you with the tools you need to make your library successful. 

This month's special topic: 


Serving Those With Memory Loss and Their Care Givers

Many communities are experiencing the aging of their population. This brings challenges to libraries as they try to entertain, provide resources, and serve the older members of their community facing memory loss and other challenges. 

Laurie Skinner, Information and Readers Services Manager, Highland Park Public Library, Alanna Sablotny, Local History/Genealogy Reference Librarian, Chatham Area Public Library District, and Chatham Area Public Library District, and Sue Monteyne, a former caregiver and Chatham Area Public Library District Cardholder will discuss their efforts in serving individuals facing memory loss and dementia.
