The Illinois Reading Enrichment and Development (iREAD) program is a coordinated, self-supporting effort to develop and provide high-quality, low-cost resources and products to enable local library staff to promote reading.

We are very sad to miss one of our favorite conferences this year (Association of Rural and Small Libraries) - as the timing of the conference conflicts with the iREAD team working on launching the 2027 theme and store.

BUT we are delighted to help support the event by being a specialty sponsor. Keep an eye out for the iREAD logo and information at the ARSL Registration Desk.
