Our amazing new library, a public facility to take pride in

Wow! Toured the new Gilroy Library this week and it’s a knock-your-socks-off facility. Impressive on many levels. In scouting college campuses with the three daughters over time, the importance of a library as a college community indicator became clear. It’s a functional showpiece that has to integrate design aesthetics with purpose. There’s a feel that goes along with the functionality and the new Gilroy library’s got it. It’s airy, it’s pleasing, it has meeting rooms and rooms for tech classes and a children’s story room with a padded carpet and a pull-down projection screen. There are places to study or read with broad street views and an expansive area for teaching reading along with good space for the Friends of the Library to store and sell donated books. Mark your calendar for a grand opening celebration on Saturday, April 28 … this is truly a fine public use addition that will serve the community for many years to come. The grassroots committee that supported the bond effort to get it built, the Gilroy City Council, the city staff and Santa Clara County Librarians have really accomplished something.

Toffey and Posey: ‘Doggie Luv’

Toffey and Posey, half brother and sister, are my two very best furry friends! As the owner and mother of two doggie kids, I love both my schnoodles (schnauzer/poodle mix) the same, and that, of course, is a whole, whole lot. I am so lucky to have two waggily tails as my two very best friends. Why are they my best times two buddies?

The key to any home loan approval is documentation. And the amount of paperwork asked for by lenders these days has never been higher. Tax returns, bank statements, paystubs and 401k statements are just the beginning.
