State official outlines first library check and rules
An Illinois State Library official outlined three qualifications for state library aid: funds must be spent on library purposes within the fiscal year, and the library’s tax support cannot be reduced by equalization. Lower local support could disqualify future state aid, he warned. He advised the board on forming a district library system and cautioned early-qualifying systems might exhaust the state appropriation, delaying aid for others. Board President Leo Heffington and Librarian Mildred Metcalf assisted the Library Development Committee promoting the new program.
