California County moves ahead on 3 new libraries

Some Good News from the San Diego area where New libraries for Alpine, Fallbrook and Ramona took major steps forward Tuesday. County supervisors approved funding for an $11.6 million Ramona library and a $10.3 million Fallbrook branch. The county will cover the bulk of the costs, while citizens’ groups in each community have raised more than $1 million for the projects. Each of the libraries has been on the drawing board for nearly a decade and failed in their bids for state funding following voter-approved propositions.
