Because you asked for it! We heard you loud and clear when you said you would like more support around the new ACRL IL Framework. This professional development program is designed to provide resources, support, and community to librarians engaging with the Framework.
Also, prizes!! Earn badges, buttons, and get entered into a drawing to win prizes for reaching different milestones (e.g. 1st thing completed, 2 tracks completed, all things completed). Though all librarians, regardless of location, are invited to participate, buttons and drawing entries are only available to Minnesota librarians.
