The Resurrection of the Edgewater Public Library

This morning, I was present for the opening of the brand new Edgewater Branch of the Chicago Public Library.  It has been a long wait for the community since its former self was demolished, to make room for this new facility.  More than new and improved, this new center for learning is a crowning achievement for all who were involved in its planning, funding and construction.  It is an example of elected officials, community leaders and developers working together for the betterment of residents of Edgewater and, especially, its youth who now have a destination that will impact their lives in a positive way.
