State Senator Sue Rezin has announced the distribution of nearly $48,000 in state-funded library grants to public schools across her district. These grants are part of an annual initiative administered by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, designed to enhance school libraries serving students from kindergarten through grade 12.
Senator Rezin emphasized the significance of these grants, stating that they represent “an important investment in students’ education, helping school libraries provide the resources and technology needed to support learning and growth.”
