Dwyane Wade to Help Hometown Library

CHICAGO – Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade says he will lend a hand to his hometown public library, the William Leonard Public Library.

Wade, who grew up in the impoverished Chicago suburb of Robbins, said Wednesday he will present a check to the library staff.

Last month, library officials said the facility was running out of cash because of the declining revenue and was on the verge of closing. A federal grant and donations are keeping it open.
