The San Mateo Main Library will receive $20 million to pay for the construction of a facility that will more than double the size of the current 43,000-sf library, which was built in 1968. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2004. The entire project is expected to cost $61 million.
The grants were made pursuant to the Library Bond Act of 2000, which was created by the passage of Proposition 14, a statewide bond measure approved by the voters in March 2000. The act authorized the sale of $350 million of general obligation bonds for the purpose of public library construction and renovation.
