Why Chicago Libraries Got It All. Plus, Are The Bears Still Ours?
from City Cast Chicago · host City Cast
Chicago is opening its 82nd public library branch in June, and loaning out books is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what these institutions offer residents. Host Jacoby Cochran talks with City Cast CEO David Plotz from Your City Could Be Better podcast about how Chicago’s libraries have evolved to meet community needs, from opening a food pantry inside a branch to turning student IDs into automatic library cards — and how they could be even better. Plus, are the Chicago Bears still the Chicago Bears if they move to Indiana? Want some more City Cast Chicago news? Then make sure to sign up for our daily newsletter.
