Flat Tax for 2026
The Helen Plum Library Board unanimously voted to maintain a flat tax rate for next year. This means that even though the library has the ability to raise taxes, our budget is fixed and additional money was not necessary for the next year therefore the library board voted not to raise the tax rate. In addition, money has been placed in the special reserve so that when the bond comes due, money will be available to pay it.

Illinois Library Association Conference 2025
I will be attending the Illinois Library Association annual conference this week. As President Elect of the Trustee Forum, I am excited to welcome trustees at the Trustee Breakfast and honoring our Trustee of the Year. Networking with trustees from all over the state is another favored activity of all Trustees
The Trustee Forum is dedicated to creating continuing education experiences for trustees from all libraries in Illinois. In addition to the programs on Trustee Day, the Forum also hosts a Spring Seminar to keep Trustees well informed of their duties.
