When the new Chinatown branch of the Chicago Public Library opens next year, it will be unlike any other facility in the city, library officials said. 

Among the features touted by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and library commissioner Brian Bannon at Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony were a YOUmedia center for teens, state-of-the-art technology and an unprecedented early childhood education program.
