San Diego
City libraries in Otay Mesa, North Park and Mira Mesa will remain open Sundays because the San Diego City Council on Tuesday allocated $38,000 from its fiscal 1990 reserve fund.
The 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. library hours were scheduled to be curtailed beginning Sunday as part of budget cuts approved by the council in June.
The expenditure will require the city to dip into its $1-million reserve for the fiscal year that began July 1, a rainy-day account that City Manager John Lockwood has called too small for a city with an operating budget of nearly $402 million.
