CALEXICO – The City of Calexico submitted a request for $10 million to continue the second round of the Camarena Memorial Library Expansion and Improvement Program. Library Director Lizeth Legaspi reported through a document that the California State Library developed a program to improve facilities located in areas with high poverty rates. The local library was built in 1986 through an $800,000 state grant. The official stressed that there is a need to expand the physical space of the library, while modernizing its facilities to offer better services.
