Nearly 50% of the new Library’s cost is covered by the $25 million bond measure approved by voters in 1998 and issued as General Obligation Bonds. $2 million of these funds were used for branch improvements completed 2001 to 2003. The remaining funds must be used by 2005 for the purpose the voters authorized. The remainder of the project is funded by one-time City monies and by Redevelopment Agency funds. A directory of public documents related to the project are available here.
