After pending for more than a decade, a land deal for the planned new Felton Library on Gushee Street was concluded in June between the County Board of Supervisors and the Verutti family.
In addition to the new modern library building site, the deal includes property along Bull Creek, which offers the possibility of an outdoor exploration area for children, native plant demonstration gardens and riparian walkway.
Meanwhile, the Library Joint Powers Board is considering a ballot measure for an approximate $50 parcel tax that would raise funds for the Felton Library and the other branches of the City-County system.
