WiLS 2026 Membership Meeting: Caring for Our Communities

January 22, 2026 WiLS staff
WiLS 2026 Member Meeting on Friday, February 27th at 10:00 am CT Featuring libraries working to care for their communities

Every day, we see how our members care for their communities. Whether in conversations, at conferences, in local news, or in Ideas to Action proposals, we hear how libraries and cultural organizations are finding new ways to nurture and support their communities. From food or necessity pantries and blood drives to mental health resources and technology support, our members meet people where they are, in good times and through struggles.

In our 2026 Member Meeting, on Friday, February 27th at 10:00 am CT, we will feature stories of how four libraries in Wisconsin are taking care of people in their communities, even in exceptionally uncertain times. We hope you’ll join us to hear those stories from Burlington Public Library, Ginanda Gikendaasomin Red Cliff Tribal Library, UW-Eau Claire’s McIntyre Library, and the Verona Area School District.

Stay for the last 20 minutes of the meeting to hear about what WiLS has been up to in 2025 and what’s ahead for 2026!
