RANTOUL – Rantoul library officials were thrilled to learn this week that the state was giving $100,000 to help build the community's new library – a building that was finished in 2002.

Rantoul Village Comptroller Scot Brandon confirmed on Wednesday that he received a $100,000 check to help pay for the conversion of the former Chanute bowling alley into a new library.
