Updated in response to 75 ILCS 10/8.7, added by P.A. 103-100, eff. 1-1-24, requiring districts that wish to be eligible for State library grants (e.g., school library grants under 75 ILCS 10/8.4) to adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights (available at https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill) or a written statement prohibiting the practice of banning books. In order to be eligible for a School Library Grant, a district must also be a member in good standing of a regional multitype library system (e.g., Illinois Heartland Library System or Reaching Across Illinois Library System) or have applied for membership and been approved for membership in such a system within specific timeframes. 23 Ill.Admin.Code §3035.120. If the board prefers the alternative language permitted by 75 ILCS 10/8.7, added by P.A. 103-100, eff. 1-1-24, for Standard #5, it may substitute with the following: "The practice of banning books or other materials within the District's library media program is prohibited."
