Jesse White, Secretary of State and State Librarian, is widely regarded for
his commitment to improving the lives of youth in Illinois. In order to continue
these efforts, Secretary White implemented a revolutionary new mentoring program
in various public libraries in Illinois. This program, known as Next Generation,
was initiated in 2000 to encourage students to become technology-savvy by
providing the opportunity for hands-on experience with the latest technology
tools.
