The Chicago Public Library system is in line for more than $2.5 million in state grant money that’ll also steer another $2 million to dozens of literacy centers citywide, as officials put a “laser focus” on literacy rates, according to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.
That Chicago funding is among more than $27 million in statewide library grants set to be announced Friday by Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias. As the official state librarian, his duties extend beyond driver services facilities.
