Über diesen Titel
In this episode of Suburban Civics 101, we explore the vital role of library boards with guests Marti Sladek (Downers Grove Library Board) and Ginger Kearney (Helen Plum Library Board). They break down how library boards shape policies, oversee budgets, and advocate for public libraries, as well as the key differences between elected vs. appointed boards. We also discuss how libraries are funded, the impact of technology on modern libraries, and Illinois' groundbreaking law banning book bans. Plus, our guests share the unexpected ways libraries serve their communities—like access to social services and making it easier for people in unincorporated areas to take advantage of their library. Tune in for a fascinating look at how libraries remain essential hubs for learning and connection.
