Senator Hunter Promotes Public Libraries During February’s National Library Lover’s Month
The "YOUmedia" initiative is an innovative 21st century learning space that connects young adults with books, digital technologies and Chicago’s educational and cultural communities inspiring creativity and collaboration. Last year, "YOUmedia" teens were featured presenters at UN World Habitat Day in Washington D.C. "Too often libraries are an overlooked resource," said Senator Hunter.
