Friends donation and construction updates advance Murrieta library expansion plans
Summary
Library staff reported ongoing construction work on the library expansion, selection of furniture and equipment, and a scheduled Friends of the Library presentation of $120,000 to support the children's-area expansion; the donation will be on the city council consent calendar.
Library staff provided an update on construction and fundraising tied to the children's-area expansion and said the Friends of the Library will present a $120,000 donation to support the project.
Rita said contractors are prepping the interior for insulation and drywall, HVAC ducts are installed in many places and roofing work is underway. Librarians and the design team have selected furniture, fixtures and equipment; the library plans to recarpet the facility after the summer reading program pending city-council approval.
Rita said the Friends of the Library will present a $120,000 donation for the children's-expansion project on June 16 and that the donation will be scheduled on the city council consent calendar for formal acceptance. She also said the children's expansion will require an amendment to the Public Works construction contract with RC (contractor name not fully specified in the transcript). The library also reported applying for $35,000 for the ZipBooks program last month for 2027.
