My Library Is...

Reaching Across Illinois Library System is adding a new advocacy section to the RAILS website! This new section replaces the standalone My Library Is… website which will be discontinued.

My Library Is… content will be migrated over to the RAILS website under the new advocacy section. That includes documents, toolkits, and blog posts. Our goal is to bring this work under the RAILS branding.

This change will allow us to strengthen our efforts and continue advocating effectively for and with the libraries we serve.

Here are next steps:

  1. By Friday, May 1, content will be moved and this site will be closing.
  2. For updates, make sure you're subscribed to the RAILS E-News and social media channels.
  3. When we launch the new RAILS advocacy section, please make sure to bookmark the new URL.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to helping libraries tell their story. And we are excited to share new resources in 2026. Stay tuned!
