Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, joined by 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale, Chicago Public Library (CPL) Commissioner Chris Brown, Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) CEO Tracey Scott, and Department of Family Support and Services (DFSS) Acting Commissioner Brandie Knazze convened at the Altgeld Branch of Chicago Public Library on Wednesday to celebrate the opening of the new branch, announce the expansion of Sunday hours to ten more CPL branches, and announce the One Summer Chicago (OSC) applications have opened for another year. The new, 14,164-square-foot library branch, located at 955 E 131st St on Chicago’s Far South Side, is a $7.5 million project first announced in 2016 that replaced the previous library within the Altgeld Gardens/Murray Homes community. This will be the fourth partnership between CPL and CHA and the One Summer Chicago program will provide youth with employment and enrichment opportunities during the summer months. One Summer Chicago offers summer employment to youth between the ages of 14 and 24. Most programs are between 20 and 25 hours per week.
