Rolling Meadows Library Receives $14,145 Security Grant from Illinois State Library
The Illinois State Library has awarded Rolling Meadows Library a $14,145 Security Grant.
We're grateful that Secretary of State and State Librarian Alexi Giannoulias and the Illinois State Library recognize how important safety is in our libraries. This support will fund upgrades to our exterior cameras—giving us clearer, wider coverage of the building and grounds so patrons and staff can feel secure whenever they visit—along with cybersecurity training that helps our staff protect the personal information our community trusts us with.
Thank you for helping us make Rolling Meadows Library a safer, more welcoming place for everyone who walks through our doors!
