Illinois Heartland Library System Library Members:
Once again, we are excited to bring to IHLS Members the Illinois Heartland Library System Draft Fiscal Year 2025 Budget and Budget Narrative using OpenGov. OpenGov is a cloud-based budgeting tool that provides easy access to data and information for both staff members and library members like you. Each chart is interactive in such a way that you can hover over chart components to highlight them, or you can click the chart to explore more data.
Additionally, we present you with our Draft FY2025 Operational Plan, located at the end of the Budget Narrative. The Operational Plan includes our planned goals for Illinois Heartland Library System and our means to achieve them. Illinois Heartland Library System has changed and matured in the last 13 fiscal years. As we enter our 14th year as a library support organization, we continue to focus on the core services of resource sharing, delivery, and library automation. We rely on appreciative inquiry to improve our services and use innovation as an enhancement. Additional areas of focus for FY2025 will again support our 500+ multi-type libraries in the areas of advocacy and continuing education.
Before our final submission of the FY2025 Budget, Budget Narrative, and Operational Plan to Illinois Heartland Library System's Board of Directors and the Illinois State Library, we’d like to hear from you. We are very aware that our efforts are always made better and stronger when done in conjunction with member input. Please take a few minutes to look over the Draft FY2025 Operational Plan and the Draft FY2025 Budget and Budget Narrative, and let us know what you think.
