MIND (Meeting Needs Democratically): The Chicago Public Library Foundation works with the City of Chicago to provide the funding for this $8 million dollar project, which is implemented throughout all 78 Chicago library locations. The audience for this project includes children and adults, as well as those who live in underserved neighborhoods where computers are still considered luxuries. The project provides access to the Internet, staff training, the Library's catalog, the new online email reference service, and 50 online databases.
