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.
