The Illinois Youth Services Institute Institute is a joint project of the Library Administrators Conference of Northern Illinois (LACONI) and the Illinois Library Association (ILA), in collaboration with Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS) and Illinois Heartland Library System (IHLS). The Institute will bring together youth and young adult services librarians from around the state for two days of learning and networking.
Due to limited space, exhibit tables will only be available to conference sponsors. Your company's name and product/service information will be included in the printed program, in addition to listing your company’s name and website link on the IYSI webpage.
