WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Wednesday, December 15. Our top story is about the newly formed Office of Firearm and Violence Prevention’s $250 million in grant funding – and how local Peoria organizations can be the most successful at getting funds. You’ll also hear about the impact of a 2010 renovation and expansion of the Peoria Public Library Lincoln Branch. WCBU’s Joe Deacon talks with 20-year library staffer Cynthia Smith about how updating the old 1910-era branch allowed library staff to reach more South Side youth. On Deck is produced by WCBU student intern Holden Kellogg.
