YOU DID IT!!
Recently, a new 5-yr lease was signed for both the Bell Branch and the Fairway Branch Libraries! Both parties have agreed to the Lease Agreement terms. The RCSC has signed it, and the County Board of Supervisors has given final approval. We can all breath easier and enjoy our Libraries for (at least) the next 5 years! |
