Please take this opportunity to help RAILS and ILA/IACRL collect virtual programming going on at this time. All Illinois libraries are encouraged to complete the form for all their virtual programs, you do not have to be a RAILS member.
RAILS is currently surveying and compiling a list of the virtual programs and services that your libraries are offering to serve your communities while your library buildings are closed. So many libraries of all types are finding creative and innovative ways to serve their communities, and we want to compile efforts so we can all learn from each other.
Please encourage your teams to log their efforts at our survey here. Enter one service or program per form and submit as many forms as you’d like. As of Wednesday, April 8, the survey had about 140 responses, and searchable results are available here.
Thanks again for your willingness to share your extraordinary efforts with others.
