SPRINGFIELD — Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White awarded $365,449 in FY20 Radio Information Service grants.
The RIS grants support 11 radio stations, ensuring that Illinois residents who are unable to read standard print material due to a disability have equal access to information published in newspapers and magazines.
“By providing audio versions of printed material, residents who have visual or physical disabilities can access printed information for educational, informational and recreational purposes,” said White. “The service keeps people engaged in their local communities.”
Northern Illinois University in DeKalb received $28,273.
