We Need You -- And We Value Your Support! There are several ways you can make a difference in our campaign to "Bring Back the Librarians" to WIU!

First, we ask that you please Do 1 Thing!: Please Sign the Petition! It will be sent directly to the WIU President & Board of Trustees. Use the default letter, or change it however you like! Please ask others to sign too! THANK YOU!


Second, as a supporter, we would like to be able to reach out to you again! Please submit basic contact info so we can share info about upcoming events and initiatives. THANK YOU!


Finally, we are raising funds so that we can reach as many supporters as possible. We have already invested in posters, signs, stickers, cards, T-shirts, a website, and local newspaper advertising, but would like the campaign to reach more local media outlets including billboards, newspapers, web/app ads, radio, an even TV spots. Even the tiniest contribution helps us “Bring Back the Librarians!” THANK YOU!
