Pomona Public Library Back in Business after 2 1/2 Week Closure



Pomona Public Library reopens.  (Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, 9/4/2012)

Excerpt:  In June, a budget shortfall threatened to temporarily close the library for a year. 

The city was able to allocate $400,000 to keep the library operating during the 2012-13 fiscal year, but a city-wide task force consisting of residents, business people and others are working to raise money to augment library services. 

As a scaled down staff assisted patrons Tuesday, library supporters, elected officials and others gathered in front of the building for a short ceremony. 

The ceremony was meant to commemorate the library's reopening but also to remind the public of the library's financial predicament.
