VENTURA COUNTY ROUNDUP : OJAI : Library to Purchase New Science Books
Mayor Ellen Hall presented the Ojai Library with a check for $20,000 this week to update its book collection.
The money will be used to purchase more than 1,000 science books during the next six months.
“It is more critical to replace old science books, because the information is changing daily, than it is to replace an old dictionary,” said Kit Willis, library supervisor.
The Ojai City Council voted earlier this year to contribute $40,000 to the Ojai Library. Half of that will be used for library expansion to be completed in the next five years.
