This education filled week welcomed school and public librarians learning about everything from collection development to copyright.  Bradley University (Peoria, Illinois) hosts this Institute in cooperation with the Illinois State Library.

The Institute for School and Public Librarians is an information rich, intense, exciting and educational week of immersion in library programming.

Programs focus on basic skills and knowledge needed by school and public librarians including reference, collection development, dealing with different personalities, technology issues, grants and more.

ISPL offers opportunities to gather knowledge and develop job-related skills. Lectures, informal discussions, small group sessions, hands on sessions, and networking will be utilized. Information about and an application for the Institute for School and Public Librarians can be found on the State Library’s web site.
