New blueprint replaces 2002 plan that spurred 84 percent facilities expansion; council also wants more money for operations
A new library master plan approved by the San Diego City Council this week — the first in more than two decades — calls for several new branches, more meeting space and tailoring the resources at each branch to the surrounding neighborhood. The plan is expected to have a big impact on the city's 36-branch library system. The last master plan, adopted in 2002, spurred an 84 percent increase in library space citywide.
For example, branches in wealthier areas where users check out more books should focus on building large collections of materials. In lower-income areas where many people lack access to technology, there should be larger computer labs. LaCava said the council and Mayor Todd Gloria must prioritize funding, including state and federal grants, to pay for the long list of projects in the plan.
