LACONI Trustee Banquet

The LACONI Trustee Banquet brings together community leaders, donors, and supporters to celebrate our organization's accomplishments and further our mission of providing continuing education for library professionals at all levels and networking opportunities for library trustees. This year, we are thrilled to host a conversation between RAILS Executive Director Monica Harris and acclaimed author Cristina Henríquez.

We recognize the vital role elected and appointed public library trustees play in shaping our communities. In Illinois, libraries are essential hubs for information, education, and resources, promoting lifelong learning and community connection. Our annual banquet is an opportunity to acknowledge advocates for these efforts and their commitment to enriching the lives of Illinois residents.

Held at the charitable organization, the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park, the evening will include a plated dinner that will be served with a cash bar available. Meal options are as follows:

• Panko herb-crusted salmon with creamy kale orzo, and lemon butter sauce
• Hanger Steak with mashed potatoes, ratatouille, and a demi-glace sauce
• Tagliatelle pasta with asparagus, cherry tomato, garlic, lemon, basil, fresh pasta, parmesan and pine nuts

Tickets must be purchased by Sunday, May 10th, 2025. Refunds are available up to 7 days in advance of the event.
