We are proud to serve our 654 member libraries and cultural organizations. It’s been our privilege this year to work in partnership with our member community to learn new things, teach one another, and get things done together we couldn’t have done alone.
People working in groups, sharing ideas and asking questions, do great things.
Our 2021 Annual Report features some of that work from each of our service teams: Cooperative Purchasing, Consulting, Collaboration Support, and Digital Projects. We welcomed new organizations under the WiLS umbrella, we continued to make improvements to the member experience, we connected members to one another and to expertise when they needed it, we provided research and data, we moved groups toward common goals, and we continued to do it all in line with our organizational values. We invested in our member community through WiLSWorld Shorts, the Ideas to Action Fund, and our own pro bono work. We also continued to expand our service outside the state of Wisconsin, growing into mentorship roles to support IMLS and ALA.
We also look ahead to the coming year, our own strategic planning process, and our upcoming 50th birthday!
We invite you to read more about our work from the last year and the year ahead in our 2021 Annual Report.
