Books will be available
in Oak Park

In response to Ed Glass’s letter in The Acorn on July 18 concerning the Oak Park Library, I would like the community to know that I and the Oak Park School District are also very much concerned about the lack of progress in the construction of the new library.

For the past year we have been having contractor problems and as such the school district and I have been meeting with the contractor each week at the construction site to try to expedite the rate of construction. Because the library will not be completed by September, the start of the school year, the Ventura County Library District will try to place a portable library structure or bookmobile at the high school site until the library is completed.

By continuing to apply pressure and monetary fines we hope to complete the library by the end of this year.
