BRING IT ON. 1 From Rogers Park to Hegewisch are 80 Chicago Public Libraries – each one a power station for imagination, innovation, and the future of our city. That power comes from the creativity and courage of Chicago Public librarians who defy conventional wisdom and harness the digital age to transform Chicago’s libraries into the coolest, most accessible places on the planet. And the unmistakable power behind it all is you – the people of Chicago and our donors – who understand that the Chicago Public Library has shaped the heart, soul and dreams of our city. Thanks to your generosity, the Chicago Public Library and the Chicago Public Library Foundation were able to power up dynamic, far-reaching programs and services throughout the city. > Rahm’s Readers Summer Learning Challenge – shattered previous reading records with 71,000 children reading more than 2.1 million books. > YOUmedia – the incredibly successful digital-learning program for teens, located in Chicago’s main Harold Washington Library and five CPL branches, has been expanded to six more Branches and temporary “pop-up” programs in 12 branches. DEAR FRIENDS > As the city’s first free maker space, CPL’s Maker Lab, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, offers Chicagoans an introduction to technology and equipment to create new forms of art, manufacturing and business opportunities. > CPL celebrated two new Branch openings in Back of the Yards and Edgewater, expanded the Humboldt Park Branch, broke ground on the new Albany Park Branch, and unveiled design concepts for a new Chinatown Branch. This hard work and ingenuity has not gone unnoticed. Chicago Public Library was named a winner of the 2014 National Medal for Museum and Library Services, the nation’s highest honor bestowed on such institutions. We believe our great global city is defined by how we value culture and education – and access to both. The Chicago Public Library never forgets its vital role in the life of our city.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

Along with my team, we set out to find the innovators and entrepreneurs who were laying the groundwork for a clean energy future. Mid-way through production, we met Bernie Karl, a wild Alaskan geothermal pioneer – when Bernie told me he didn’t think humans were the cause of climate change, it was a light- bulb moment. A person didn’t have to believe in climate science to still want clean air and clean water. And once we filmed the Green Hawks in the Department of Defense, I realized that national security was another way into the clean energy world. In our travels, we filmed Bay Area radicals, utility CEOs, airlines execs and wonky economists – and they all agree that using as little energy as possible and making clean energy are important goals; whether for solutions to climate change, national or energy security or public health.

Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 107, No. 3 Articles CONTESTED SHORE: PROPERTY RIGHTS IN RECLAIMED LAND AND THE BATTLE FOR STREETERVILLE Joseph D. Kearney & Thomas W. Merrill ABSTRACT-Land reclaimed from navigable waters is a resource uniquely susceptible to conflict. The multiple reasons for this include traditional hostility to interference with navigable waterways and the weakness of rights in submerged land. In Illinois, title to land reclaimed from Lake Michigan was further clouded by a shift in judicial understanding in the late nineteenth century about who owned the submerged land, starting with an assumption of private ownership but eventually embracing state ownership. The potential for such legal uncertainty to produce conflict is vividly illustrated by the history of the area of Chicago known as Streeterville, the area of reclaimed land along Lake Michigan north of the Chicago River and east of Michigan Avenue.
