The bonds will be paid through library reserves and the Rebuild Illinois Community Development Initiative, a capital improvements grant. In the coming weeks, we will continue meeting with our architects and construction management team on design. Construction is expected to start early next year!

We extend a heartfelt thank you to both Illinois Senator Pat McGuire, who chose Project Burnham as a regional project for the grant, and Illinois Senate President Don Harmon for believing in our vision to be a learning destination in downtown Joliet.
