Illinois SB1550 amends the Illinois Library System Act to create a program of state grants for library systems and public libraries. The grants include annual equalization grants, library system grants, per capita grants to public libraries, and planning and construction grants. The State Librarian administers the program, distributing funds based on population and area served. Libraries must meet certain criteria to be eligible for these grants, such as maintaining a specific tax levy rate. The bill also outlines the process for adjusting grant amounts if appropriated funds are insufficient.
