State Offices Closed Monday

Illinois government offices will be closed Monday in observance of President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809. Government offices including Secretary of State facilities, courthouses and local libraries will be closed. Lincoln's Birthday isn't a federal holiday and is only observed in a handful of states.

The Abraham Lincoln Association will celebrate the 16th president's 203rd birthday with two days of presentations on the theme of Lincoln and the Civil War.
