The library at the @YOSChicago Bellwood TLP grows! Huge thank you to @haymarketbooks for their donations.
We've got poetry, we've got nonfiction, we've got sports, we've even got a play! Wonderful additions to a great, little collection we've put together here.

Michelle and I want every kid in Chicago to grow up knowing even better opportunities than we had. We’re happy to help Chicago Connected reach every kid in the city. This is where I found a purpose and a family––and it’ll always be our home.
Reliable, high-speed internet can be a powerful equalizer. As part of our work to build a more equitable city, we're launching Chicago Connected to provide free high-speed internet service to approximately 100,000 Chicago Public Schools students. cps.edu/chicagoconnected
