The Value of Your Public Library

“Libraries are absolutely needed everyday – but even more so with a challenging economy and people out of jobs; [it is the] only resource for some.” -- Roselle Mayor Gayle Smolinski

Whether you visit the Library in person or use any of our many virtual services, you know that your Library is essential! And just when library usage is at its highest ever, Illinois legislators have cut grant funding by 50%!

You can help restore funding. Visit Save Illinois Libraries! http://www.saveillinoislibraries.com
