Outdoor Sitting Area to Open
Read a book outside in the sun – at the Monterey Public Library. The
second-floor terrace at the Library will be outfitted with benches, new
tables, umbrellas and chairs for about
30 people. A glass wall around the perimeter will provide
protection from the wind.
You’ll also be able to enjoy your favorite book or magazine along with a cup
of joe or a cold drink. This spring, the Library looks to add a commercial
concession to the terrace where
coffee, tea, juice, bottled water and soft drinks will be sold.
Enhancements are being funded by the Neighborhood Improvement Program.
For more info, call Special Services Coordinator Jeanne McCombs at 646.3949
(mccombs@ci.monterey.ca.us).
