The New Crestline Library 10/30/10

One of the things we did this last Saturday was to go to the ribbon cutting for the new Crestline Library. The affair was a grand affair for the small town of Crestline. We had a fife and drum core and a local Scout troop bring in the colors and lead us for both the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem. Doing the ribbon cutting was San Bernardino County Supervisor Paul Biane and the President of the Friends of the Library Bill Steiner. The library was supposed to be done in the Spring of 2010 but it was pushed back to October because the orginal builder bid too low and run out of money. In all the new library cost nearly 7 million dollars. Quite a sum for a local library, but despite being a small town Crestline has more than proven it will use it’s new library. With the new library comes a lot of new features. The new library has a beautiful setting overlooking Lake Gregory. It has double the space of the old library and four times more computers than our old library. If by chance they are all full you can bring your own laptop and get free WiFi anywhere on the grounds or at the park next door. If books are not your style there are several Kindles and V-Tech e-readers available for check out.
