Library Bonds Narrowly Approved
Palos Verdes Peninsula voters Tuesday narrowly approved a $16-million bond sale to double the size of the community’s main library in Rolling Hills Estates.
By a vote of 4,266 to 1,838, voters in the four bedroom communities gave the go-ahead to the Palos Verdes Library District to issue the general-obligation bonds. The measure, Proposition D, received 69.9% of the vote, barely more than the two-thirds majority needed to pass.
“We don’t very often vote through bonds or taxes up here,” library district spokeswoman Nancy Mahr said Wednesday. “I think people understand we are undersized for the community.”
The district says space in the main library has become so scarce that a book must be discarded every time a new one is purchased. The library opened in 1967.
