The Best Practices Committee promotes excellence in Illinois libraries by collecting and publicizing real-life examples of solutions to problems and issues faced by libraries in their communities.  These practices include, but are not necessarily limited to, successful programs, services, and management strategies.  The committee will be composed of eight members serving two-year terms including one member serving a one-year term.  Appointed by the ILA vice president/president-elect, members will serve two-year terms, with at least three new committee members appointed each year.

More information about the application process and the current activities of the committee is available. (need internal link)
