Posted July 28, 2011 11:00 pm

On Friday, July 29, Farm Bureau members from Cook and Kendall counties toured Arlington Heights Memorial Library with state Rep. David Harris as part of the Farm Bureau's "Adopt-A-Legislator" program.

Farmers from rural areas are matched with city and suburban legislators and visit their districts to learn about the important issues for cities and suburbs. Legislators like Representative Harris then visit the rural districts for farm tours to learn about the issues facing farmers.

In addition to the library, the tour also included Village Hall, the downtown business area, Tuscan Market, Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, and the Backstretch at Arlington Park.

According to Representative Harris, the library was chosen for the tour because "it is one of the leading libraries in the state," and he wanted to showcase its Business Center, a "great resource for the community."
