 "The Eastside Library is an incredible community asset," Council member Cathy Murillo said. The new proposal is to reopen the library on Monday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. from now until the end of the fiscal year in July. The cost will be about $6,800. Cathy Murillo, a city council member who made reopening the libraries the centerpiece of her campaign, said the library is extremely important as it is not just a library but "a community center for the Eastside neighborhood." Murillo added that she may put more money in funding to have the library open at full hours. According to her, $8,600 will keep the library open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m, which would be beneficial to adults and children that use the library's resources throughout the day. "It really is a reasonable amount of money to ask for such a big benefit," Murillo said. © 2012, Catholic Online.
