State Project Code: 23-1005-ILP
Start Date: 06/01/2022

Abstract: Illinois Libraries Present provided premier online events at equitable prices for participating member libraries of all sizes and budgets.

Member libraries from across the state became members, paying a fee based on their budget size and in return ILP finds, books, and presents programs with high interest presenters and handles the registration, creation of marketing materials, event production, and after event statistical and qualitative analysis.

Title: Illinois Library Present: Programs
Narrative: The goal for Illinois Libraries Present was to provide high-quality, high-profile online events with nationally recognized names that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive for single libraries to hold on their own. Costs were based on each library’s operating budget to make fees as equitable as possible. This allowed smaller or rural libraries to afford participation and made the programs accessible. 209 libraries participated in Illinois Libraries Present in FY23. This number represents 34% of public libraries in Illinois. Costs per-program to member libraries ranged between $6.67 and $191.67. There were 12 virtual programs offered this year. 2 programs, bestselling authors Jarrett J. Krosoczka and Kwame Alexander, were specifically targeted to a youth and teen audience. Other programs included Marlee Matlin, Caitlin Doughty, Shauna Sever, Ross Gay, Mary Roach, Danny Trejo, Will Shortz, Jonathan Van Ness, Jesmyn Ward, and Robin Wall Kimmerer. The last session with Robin Wall Kimmerer was the most highly attended with 3,512 synchronous and asynchronous attendees. Robin Wall Kimmerer, the award-winning author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants led an insightful and inspiring talk, sharing her unique perspective on the interconnectedness of humans and nature and the importance of recognizing and respecting the gifts of the earth. Overall there were 26,095 program registrations, 18,331 live event attendees, 5,990 post event viewers, and 38 watch parties. On average, post-event survey respondents rated program quality at 4.6 (on a scale of 5 for the high). Some of the feedback included: “This was so incredibly meaningful. What a wonderful use of library resources and connections. This felt like such an investment in my humanity and my connection to others.” “This presentation was outstanding, maybe the best I have ever attended and I have attended many library presentations.” “I love the Zoom presentations that the libraries are bringing to us. I enjoy that my dad who cannot get out anymore can watch from his living room while I watch in my living room and we can text back and forth.” “One of the richest author conversations I've yet experienced via ILP. Thoughtful and unique. [...] This was a true celebration of both content and gorgeous prose.”
Intent: Improve users' general knowledge and skills.

Project Outcomes
Project Outcomes
List any important outcomes or findings not previously reported:
Over 95% of the over 24,000 participants surveyed reported that they gained knowledge from speakers. Over 33% of Illinois Public Libraries participate in ILP and express the benefits of participating in a shared cooperative for public programming.
Please briefly describe the importance of these outcomes and findings for future program planning:
Sharing costs to bring in well known names or presenters who talk about current issues around DEI, mental health, sustainability, and more allowed libraries of all regions and sizes to participate rather than just well resourced libraries. It leveraged the collective power of libraries to create space for community conversations, letting people from across the state connect and learn from the speakers and each other.
Explain one or two of the most significant lessons learned for others wanting to adopt any facets of this project:
Having a committee structure to carry out the work being done to bring in these presenters allows for library employees to gain valuable skills and create new networks with others throughout the state. Having a pricing model that allows for the economic disparity of libraries throughout the state reduces barriers for libraries wanting to participate.
Do you anticipate continuing this project after the current reporting period ends:
Yes
Do you anticipate any change in level of effort in managing this project:
No
Explain:

Do you anticipate changing the types of activities and objectives addressed by the project:
No
Explain:

Was an evaluation conducted for this project:
Yes
Was a final written evaluation report produced:
Yes
Can the final written evaluation report be shared publicly on the IMLS website:
Yes
Was the evaluation conducted by project staff (either SLAA or local library) or by a third-party evaluator:
Project Staff
What data collection tools were used for any report outcomes and outputs:
Administrative Records
Review Surveys
Participant Observation
Did you collect any media for the data:
What types of methods were used to analyze collected data:
Statistical Methods
Qualitative Methods
Other:
How were participants (or items) selected:
Census – We selected everyone (or every item).
What type of research design did you use to compare the value for any reported output or outcome:
No comparison for any reported output or outcome: We surveyed member libraries that participated in ILP as well as all attendees for each of the 12 programs and analyzed the success of each program individually based on cost, attendance, and qualitative data.
Comparison of a reported output or outcome to an assigned target value: We compared the pilot season #s to this season's #s to determine whether we were seeing an increase in participation and perceived value by attendees and member libraries.
Exemplary: Yes
Exemplary NarrativeIllinois Libraries Present was recognized by the Illinois Library Association for sustained activity and contributions having a lasting impact on library cooperation and resource sharing. This is a shining example of interlibrary cooperation and allowed even the smallest libraries to participate in stellar programing that would have been too cost prohibitive without the help of this program.
