WASHINGTON (AP) — Where will President Barack Obama put his presidential library?

Four years from the end of the Obama presidency, Chicago and Honolulu are ramping up major campaigns to build the center that will house the records of AmericaÂ’s 44th president.

In Illinois and Hawaii, the states Obama calls home, universities and community groups are drafting plans and using a mix of public and private efforts to persuade Obama to choose their site for what will be a monument to his historic presidency and an instrument to continue his legacy.

ItÂ’s an early down payment aimed at influencing a decision that likely wonÂ’t be announced anytime soon.

“It is a tough choice, but it’s not one that I’ve made yet,” Obama said last month.
