THE 2006 CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY BOND
WHEREAS, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into law the California

many cities and counties across the state to construct library facilities; and

unfunded library construction projects, which total $4.4 billion, in need statewide; and
WHEREAS, our community will continue to have ongoing needs for public library
services; and

expand as new libraries are added, new services offered, and hours increased.
