About This Event

Join IHLS members and staff from around central and southern Illinois for our monthly membership forum, IHLS Members Matter. These meetings provide presentations on topics requested by members, library trends and laws, or issues related to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Updates of the latest IHLS system news follow the presentations. IHLS Members Matter events are also opportunities for you to tell IHLS staff and leadership your thoughts, challenges, and wants. Sharing your ideas will help IHLS to be more responsive to your needs, develop impactful programs, services and tools, and work together to achieve success.

This month's special topic: 

Maintaining your Library Facility

Your library facility is your largest physical asset and depending on its age, a sizable portion of your budget will go to maintaining it. Join retired library director turned library consultant, Kathy Parker as she discusses the various aspects of getting to know your facility, keeping it maintained, and how plan to for repairs and replacements.

Advance registration is required. Please register through this L2 page.
