Legislative Issues

As the voice for Illinois libraries and the millions who depend on them, the Illinois Library Association engages in a vigorous and proactive legislative advocacy progam. Working with our Public Policy Committee and legislative consultant, the association monitors current legislative issues that affect libraries on the state and federal level, proposes and supports legislation favorable to libraries, and opposes legislation detrimental to libraries.

On the federal level, we work closely with the American Library Association's Public Policy and Advocacy Office to align our messaging and efforts.
