Claremont
This warm and inviting branch counts among its regulars a well-educated student population, including many immigrants, along with neighborhood families who value the library and enjoy its services. Bond funds will be used for:
- A comprehensive and necessary seismic upgrade
- A rebuilt interior to open up congestion, especially at the hold and check-out areas
The Neighborhood Libraries Campaign will:
- Help furnish Claremont’s expanded community room, which hosts an active schedule of children’s story hours, teen movie nights, adult civic meetings, long standing book clubs, and programs for people of all ages
- Expand the currently very small teen area
- Add more computers
- Make the collection — which is strong in travel, art, bestsellers, literary fiction, magazines, and newspapers — more accessible

“Before I retired, I used to subscribe to a great many magazines. Now I come here to read them while my son uses the computer. The collection here is wonderful, and the library is kept spotless. I’m a retired librarian myself, and I can see that this is an excellent branch, and a nice place to sit and read.”
