Help Bring Back WIU's Librarians

Donation protected

This summer the administration of Western Illinois University undertook radical action: it eliminated every one of its nine (9) professional librarians. When current contracts expire on May 14 (2025), Western will no longer employ a practicing academic librarian. Our students deserve better.

We have launched an advertising campaign to mobilize our supporters, helping the WIU Board of Trustees and Interim President understand the importance of librarians for student academic success, retention, and moving forward to a successful career after graduation. We would like the campaign to reach more local media outlets including billboards, newspapers, web/app ads, radio, an even TV spots. Please join us in urging WIU to reverse this disastrous decision. Help us “Bring Back the Librarians!”
