Cities Already Seeking Obama Library

Chicago Tribune: “Though Obama has not commented publicly about his plans for a
library, every president since Herbert Hoover has established an archive
in his home state to house papers from his White House tenure. That
means the race could come down to Chicago — the city Obama most recently
called home — and Honolulu — the city where he was born.”

“If Chicago is selected, the next hurdle would be to determine where
the facility would be built. An Obama library likely would not open
before the end of the decade, but already it is a hot commodity because
of the prestige and economic vitality it would bring to the community.”
