The Chicago Tribune announces that the next One Chicago/One Book pick is Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. The story notes that Chicago’s Mayor Daley is very involved with the program and becomes positively “giddy” when he learns about the latest selection.

Daley, who is retiring after 22 years, will be replaced by Rahm Emmanuel. The Tribune writes that Daley’s largest cultural legacy is likely to be his support of the city’s libraries; 59 were built during his time as mayor with four new ones opening by the end of the year.
