The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 ILCS 140/, is a state statute that provides the public the right to access government documents and records. The premise behind FOIA is that the public has the right to know what the government, and its subsidiary bodies, is doing. It is the policy of the Frankfort Public Library District to fully comply with all legal requirements of the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The Frankfort Public Library District is committed to transparency and to providing access to applicable public records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 ILCS 140/. All requests must be in writing and should be directed to Amanda Kowalcze, the Library’s designated Freedom of Information Officer. Requests may be submitted in person at the Frankfort Public Library District, mailed, or emailed, and may be made using the optional form below. While not a requirement, the form is intended to assist the requester in the specifics of the request. There is no requirement under the Act to respond to oral requests, to provide information other than what already exists in records, or to interpret or advise requestors on the meaning of the records or documents.
For questions regarding FOIA and the Frankfort Public Library District, please contact FOIA Officer Amanda Kowalcze.
