Wednesday night’s 48th Ward Construction and CTA Meeting at the Broadway Armory saw a good number of people in attendance, eager to hear all about the new Chicago Public Library branch planned for the intersection of Broadway and Elmdale. Alderman Harry Osterman opened the meeting, introducing the Public Building Commission of Chicago’s Executive Director, Erin Cabonargi.

Cabonargi didn’t waste any time in getting down to the what’s what in terms of the library’s construction. The new branch will be the largest neighborhood library in Chicago.

    So excited for this. It will be great for the community, especially those who have children.

      Relax, 100 years is plenty. There probably won’t even be books any more in 100 years.
