El Cerrito, Measure C

“Our library is 77 years old. It’s small, noisy, and seismically unsafe, doesn’t meet today’s health, safety and fire standards and isn’t fully accessible for disabled people, the elderly, to those most in need. Measure C builds an up-to-date, 21st-century library with spaces where toddlers giggle, teens study and learn new skills and seniors learn about culture, community and financial security.”

“Measure C isn’t about whether we get a library. We have a library we own and love. This vote is about if Measure C is a good plan. It’s not. Supporters are asking you to approve a tax costing more than $100 million for a library on land we will never own, in a building that may never be built.”
