👏 A big thank you to State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel for helping secure a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity that funded new windows at the Plainfield Area Public Library!

We are grateful for Senator Cappel's support of libraries and the important role they play in serving residents of all ages. 📚️
