STEELEVILLE AREA PUBLIC LIBRARY

Ginger Womick from the Illinois Treasurer's office will be at the library on March 27 from 10:00-12:00 to help Illinois residents search for any unclaimed money they may have with the State of Illinois.

First come first served, no appointment necessary.

​

·  Over $3.5 billion in unclaimed money and property is being safeguarded by the Illinois Treasurer’s Office.

· The Treasurer’s Office has made claiming unclaimed      money and property even easier with FastTrack and e-claiming.

· Check twice a year to see if you have unclaimed property at icash.illinoistreasurer.gov.

We're still working on filling our candy recycling box. Feel free to keep bringing in wrappers!

​

Save your candy wrappers instead of trashing them! Bring them to the library and put them in our Trick-or-Trash candy wrapper recycling box.

Your candy wrappers will be recycled instead of ending up in landfills or the ocean.
