FOIA Information
What is FOIA and how to submit a request
The Freedom of Information Act is used to ensure that all persons are entitled to full and complete information regarding the affairs of government. Unless information falls within an express statutory exemption, it must be disclosed under FOIA (5 ILCS140/3).
Considered a public body, the Winnebago Public Library must generally comply with a request within 5 working days after receipt of the request, or 21 days if the request is for a commercial purpose. An extension of 5 days may be permitted under certain circumstances.
