IHLS Member Day

Member Day is Illinois Heartland Library System's biggest continuing education and networking event of the year! IHLS Member Day started as an annual day of member appreciation, and it has developed into a full one-day conference of learning opportunities, Professional Development Hours, and games and prizes.
