What's Happening for Salinas Public Library
We're moving forward!
It's now official! The City Council on May 15th approved the funding plan to build a 21,000 square foot library in North Salinas. After more than a year of public feedback and analysis, the Council's vote promises to usher in a new chapter for the Salinas Public Library. The new library will officially be breaking ground this summer to build a much needed library that will replace the small El Gabilan Library.

He likes to keep learning of course, and still comes into the Literacy Center whenever he can.

Last week we reviewed how the architects transformed community feedback into a new design for the El Gabilan Library and how that new building will serve children and teens. This week...
