ARGUMENT FOR BOND ISSUE
NEED: The adult library has been sold and must be vacated.
The children's library is inadequate and rented on a month to
month basis.
In addition, 2,500 books are now stored in a trailer.
DESIGN: The new library is designed to meet all American Li-
brary Association standards.
It is planned to serve a growing Carlsbad and the population as
projected for 1980.
The new library will include
Ample bookshelves
Separate adult and young adult reading rooms
Children's room
Space for study and reference work
Audio room with records
Multi purpose room
Storage space for resource materials
Staff office and work space
LOCATION: The new library will be located on Elm Street east
of Pio Pico"on city owned property.
COST: The bond issue will be for $295,000. This will raise taxes
less than 7$ per hundred dollars of assessed valuation. For a tax-
payer with a $16,000 home the cost will be just 22$ a month. In-
' dic.ations are that Carlsbad will also receive funds from the Fed-
eral Library Services and Construction Act.
In Summary:
(1) Present library facilities are totally inadequate. Of the two
buildings, the main library is sold and must be vacated.
(2) The current demand for library services has altogether exceed-
ed available facilities.
(3) The Library Board of Trustees strongly recommends the elec-
torate approve $295,000 in bonds for a city library to be available
to every citizen to use for education and enjoyment.
