Petition updateA new Public Library in Gage Park, ChicagoEveryone deserves access to books.
Gage Park Latinx Council
17 Oct 2021

We spoke with SouthSide Weekly about our campaign for a new library.

“Creating public space for access to information in a resource desert can be a revolutionary act for Gage Park with limitless benefits and potential.”

“ The Chicago Public Library claims that there isn’t room in their 100-plus million dollar budget for investment for our community. The task of raising funds for this public project has instead been placed upon the very people who are calling for investment. This means that community members are tasked with the responsibility of raising awareness and funds for a public service that more affluent communities get handed to them.”
