Sylvia Murphy Williams Fund
In 2003, the association established a fund in the name of the late
Sylvia Murphy Williams, 2002-2003 ILA President and Director of the
Dundee Township Public Library, to provide additional support to Illinois
recipients of the ALA Spectrum Initiative Scholarship. The Spectrum
Initiative was created to address the issues of underrepresentation
of ethnic librarians within the profession and to serve as a model
for ways to bring attention to other diversity issues.
