"Give them wings, let
them fly"
Southwest Iowa Library Service Area (SWILSA) is one of seven Library Service Areas helping libraries provide the best possible service to Iowans. We are funded by appropriation of the Iowa General Assembly to provide libraries in our Area with support services: consulting, continuing education, backup reference, and interlibrary loan.
SWILSA's Vision for Member Librarians and Trustees
Our librarians and trustees are:
 | committed to serving Iowans; |
| passionate about their jobs; |
| confident in their knowledge and abilities; |
| leaders in their local communities and in the library community; |
| creative thinkers and innovators; and |
| change agents, and active participants in positive movement toward the future. |
