The Annual Library Certification process has reached a milestone — more than half of the 1,900-plus system member library agencies have already completed the Annual Library Certification form during the first month!

The annual certification process is a requirement for all library system members, full or developmental, in order to qualify for system services and programs/services from the Illinois State Library. The window for this certification began January 2 and will be open through March 31.

The Illinois State Library has sent notifications to all member libraries regarding the new certification process that must be completed between January 2, 2013 and March 30, 2013. This certification will verify compliance with system membership criteria and will be necessary for libraries wishing to receive system services and maintain grant eligibility.
