San Francisco Public Library Delays Five Branches
– reported by Library Journal

The San Francisco Public Library
(SFPL)’s ambitious $106 million branch renovation program, approved by
voters in 2000, is running out of money. Soaring construction costs
have caused the postponement of five branch projects, as the SFPL
Commission unanimously voted March 1 to use the $18 million dedicated
to these projects to instead help fund the completion of 11 other
branches.[snip]
