Congratulations to Chicago Public Library Foundation, selected one of 20 "Best Charities in Chicago" by Chicago magazine in its November 2015 issue.
With the holidays approaching, the magazine set out to find the top nonprofits among the more than 18,000 based in the Chicago area. After narrowing the search to 71 organizations that earn a top ranking of four stars from Charity Navigator, the magazine chose the 20 “that stand out most for their mission, impact and value to the community.” See the complete article online in Chicago on Zinio for Libraries, or read the magazine at any CPL location.
