Illinois State Library

The Illinois State Library will expand its successful ILEAD USA program to the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, and hold convenings in the existing ILEAD USA states of Colorado, Ohio, Utah, and Illinois in 2015. ILEAD USA is a leadership and technology immersion program that brings diverse teams of library staff together to work cooperatively over the course of nine months to address a community need related to IMLS priorities. The teams use technology tools to craft a project that meets these needs. Their learning is not only at three in-person sessions, but also virtually during two intersessions.
