The Illinois Textbook Loan Program was authorized in 1975 to provide textbooks free of charge to any public and nonpublic student enrolled in Kindergarten through grade twelve.  The state purchases the materials and then loans them to the pupils of Illinois.  The program funding is only enough to provide supplemental dollars for materials and is not aimed at total funding for all instructional materials.
