Open the Doors...

Two-thirds of the $1 million needed to open the doors of the new Atascadero Library, located at 6555 Capistrano Ave., has already been raised in 2011. Donations are still needed to fund construction costs and provide furnishings and equipment. We need your support. Donate $100 per month over a 10-month period to become a Founder of our new Atascadero Library. Call (805) 466-3495 for more details.
