Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian Alexi Giannoulias awarded a combined $28.9 million in grants to support library services and literacy programs throughout Illinois.
The grants include awards to regional library systems to enhance online catalogs at local libraries, support day-to-day operations and expand interlibrary loan programs. Funding also supports radio information services that provide local news and information to individuals who cannot read standard print materials. Literacy grants promote basic reading, math, writing and English language skills through adult, family and workplace literacy programs.
CEFS Economic Opportunity Corporation will receive $80,300 for their Adult Literacy program.
