The Walnut Creek Library: It's Coming Soon ... And other news I've been covering on that other site

You can read on Walnut Creek Patch, that other site I edit, a timeline and overview of the construction of the new downtown library, which is set to open on July 17. Check out: "Patch Primer: The New Downtown Library is Coming Soon, and It's Been A Long, Interesting Journey."

The author is Robert Taylor, formerly of the
Contra Costa Times.

I know this library project been a hot topic on this blog. As I've said before, I was neutral on the new library project, and, as a resident of the unincorporated area, I didn't vote in any of the elections--and didn't pay all that much attention to them. So
Robert's overview was useful to me.

I know a lot of you are experts on this topic. Feel free to go Walnut Creek Patch and share what you know and what you think. You don't have to use your real name when you register to post comments.
