Fairway Drive Suite 120, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 800-255-0965 2015 Conference Program | 7 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTS It is our pleasure to welcome you to A Library State of Mind – the first-ever joint Illinois conference for all library types! This conference has been more than three years in the making. The idea of holding a joint Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA) - Illinois Library Association (ILA) conference was initially proposed by Gail Bush while she was ILA President. A proposal was developed and approved by the boards of both associations and we were on our way! Our profession has many constituencies, but we all share A Library State of Mind. From the very beginning the Conference Planning Committee was committed to including all library types – academic, public, school, and special. We reached out to library staff of all types – youth and young adult, reference, technical services, elementary, middle, and high school, corporate, director, managers, support staff, trustees, marketing, retirees – and you responded with a resounding “YES!” We received program submissions from all parts of the state and the Conference Planning Committee worked very hard to develop a conference with the broadest reach possible. There is a strong focus on programming that reaches across library types, while still addressing the core needs of each type of library. This conference is an opportunity to learn from each other, consider new possibilities, and create new partnerships. Our lineup of featured speakers is sure to inspire -- From Shankar Vedantam’s exploration of the way unconscious factors shape our judgement and perceptions to Beck Tench’s challenge to make space, find courage, and take risks in your life and library. Our authors and illustrators -- including Katherine Applegate, Daniel Handler, and Chris Raschka -- will show us new ways of looking at the world around us. We hope that you will leave Peoria with a renewed passion for collaborating, networking, and advocating for our profession and our institutions. Together we create a new Library State of Mind.
