The Illinois State Library and the Illinois library community have a distinguished history of cooperation that frameworks the use of federal Library Services and Technology Act funds. In Illinois, libraries of all types belong to a single library network established more than thirty-five years ago. Previous federal funds have enabled libraries to develop many excellent programs and innovative services.
The Library Services and Technology Act Long Range Plan was developed with significant input from the Illinois library community, state agencies, and citizens of Illinois. The Plan will serve as the cornerstone for future grant opportunities, statewide projects, and library development activities during the next five years.
