Background
California’s Libraries are in Trouble.
In March, 2000, California voters passed Proposition 14, to fund library construction and renovation.
Although this was a great first step in meeting California’s need for new libraries, it fell far short of meeting all our libraries’ needs. A 2003 State Library survey revealed 579 unfunded library projects around the state, at a cost of $4.4 billion, with Proposition 14 providing enough money to fund only 45 of these.
As a result, many California neighborhoods and communities either do not have a local library, or are relying on old library structures – some built prior to 1930, and in need of upgrading in order to operate more efficiently and accommodate new technologies.
