Bill > SR0348

This resolution congratulates Carol Vaughan Kissane on being named a 2025 Illinois Library Luminary by the Illinois Library Association (ILA), recognizing her extensive contributions to the library community. The resolution highlights her remarkable 44-year tenure as a trustee of the Linda Sokol Francis Brookfield Library, during which she was actively involved in library governance and only missed four board meetings. It acknowledges her significant involvement with the ILA, including serving on various committees, holding leadership positions in the Library Trustee Forum, and being named Trustee of the Year in 2012. The resolution emphasizes her tireless advocacy, mentorship of new trustees, and leadership in local, regional, state, and national library associations. The Illinois Senate formally commends Kissane for her dedicated service and commits to presenting her with a copy of the resolution as a gesture of respect and appreciation for her substantial contributions to libraries and community service.
