Illinois Public Library Standards
Wednesday, July 23, 2025
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Zoom
Join us for an informative webinar led by ILA Past President and Illinois Public Library Standards Chair Betsy Adamowski, who will provide an overview of the Illinois Public Library Standards—the newly revised benchmarks for evaluating and enhancing public library services across the state.
Formerly known as Serving Our Public 4.0: Standards for Illinois Public Libraries, this updated online-only edition, accessible to all Illinois libraries via the ILA website, introduces a flexible framework with core, intermediate, and advanced levels. These standards help libraries assess their progress in fulfilling their mission and serving their communities effectively.
This webinar is an excellent opportunity to explore how your library can use the Standards as a strategic tool for growth, improvement, and community impact.
