Illinois State Senate District 57 issued the following announcement on Jan. 15.
Eighteen local school districts will receive more than $23,000 in grants through the Illinois secretary of state’s School Library Grant program, State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Centreville) announced Wednesday.
The grants, which are issued by the Illinois State Library, are meant to help public schools offer more library books and materials to students.
“This grant will be very beneficial for these well deserving schools in my district,” Belt said. “It’s very pleasing to see these libraries receiving additional funds to buy materials that will increase student’s reading and language skills, which ultimately helps with developing student’s minds.”
