New building purchased...
In December of 2010, San Luis Obispo County, along with the City of Atascadero and the Friends of the Atascadero Library, purchased the building at 6555 Capistrano Avenue as the location for the new Atascadero Library. This building is located in a downtown, pedestrian-friendly location and will double the amount of library space we currently have. |
