Indiana Library Federation

The Indiana Library Federation (ILF) is a professional organization for Indiana's librarians, library workers, and trustees. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The ILF was created as a result of the Indiana Library Association (501(c)6) being merged into the Indiana Library Trustee Association (501(c)3) in 1990.[1] The two organizations often had conferences together and merged to take advantage of ILTA's tax-exempt status.[1][2]
