Former MACSA officials turn themselves in
Two former leaders of the Mexican American Community Services Agency who allegedly used employees’ retirement savings for school supplies, a salary raise, a YMCA membership, food from local supermarkets, computers, office supplies and other general operating costs turned themselves in last week on charges of felony grand theft.
Healing place for the soul
If libraries are in fact, “a healing place of the soul” – as the axiom inscribed above the entrance to a library in Thebes, Ancient Greece aptly declares – Gilroy’s brand-new library is one powerful elixir.
A century in the library started by Carnegie
Given prominent front page coverage on Nov. 11, 1905, the Gilroy Advocate newspaper exclaimed “Library Site Promised!”
Shhh it’s the library: How teens can be teens in the new building
After years of hearing “shhh!” at the Gilroy Library, teens can now be teens. In the old and interim library building, boisterous teens would often get hushed by older patrons, and sometimes even asked to leave by staff.
Green, and the envy of all other libraries
Unlike San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences – an architectural marvel widely revered for its 197,000-square-foot “living rooftop” adorned by a tapestry of native plant species – one of Gilroy’s most eco-friendly edifices doesn’t outwardly flaunt its environmental virtue.
Grand opening schedule
Gilroy's brand-new library will open for the first time to the public on Saturday. It will be an historic celebration no Gilroyan should miss!
Years of planning finally pay off
After more than 15 years of planning, the day that seemed as if it never would arrive is finally here: Gilroy’s state-of-the-art new library will open its doors to the public on Saturday.
