Clayton Community Library
Celebrates 30 Years
 |
| Clayton Library |
Over the next five years fundraising takes place, including book sales, crab feeds, and a multitude of grant applications resulting in one large grant of $2.8 million from Prop 85 in 1991. A groundbreaking ceremony happened on March 12, 1994, and later that year, the City approved $542,000 for book collection. After all of the demanding work, extraordinary vision and determination, on March 4, 1995, the Clayton Community Library opens its doors.
It is because of the efforts of these three women and lots of other volunteers and donors who supported the library then and continue to do so today, that we celebrate 30 Years of the Clayton Community Library this month.

To coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the library, the City will be embarking on a refresh project later this year that will include new paint, carpeting, improved lighting, furniture and other design elements and CCLF is hoping to have some celebratory events throughout the year to commemorate the anniversary. Also, save the date for the next Book Sale, on May 17 and 18 (May 16 for members only).
The Clayton Community Library stands as a testament to the strength, commitment and caring that so many of our residents perform day in and day out to make our community a better place. Thank you Joyce, Jeanne and Diana for being shining examples of that.

We appreciate you keeping us informed. It's wonderful to have a council member who genuinely cares. Now that the political turmoil is behind us, it's clear that the City of Clayton is making progress. Keep up the great work! - Rod and Cindy
ReplyDeleteWe need four more Kim's on the council. She gets things done. Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteKeep it going Mayor Trupiano. It great to see someone at the helm that cares more about Clayton than they do about posting pictures on social media.
ReplyDeleteThank you for recognizing the 3 women who got the library built in a little town that has little money. All of the support from volunteers was really monumental!

Those two women that spoke at the council meeting last night were a hoot. They had a great story to tell, and it showed that persistence pays off. Thank you volunteers.
DeleteWow, a Mayor that gets things done. She has done more for this town in just 100 days than Wolff, Cloven and Tillman did during the two years they were in charge. Clayton now has a bright future.
ReplyDeleteAll Wolfe, Cloven and Tillman accomplished in their two years of power was to show everyone their true colors. Cloven’s legacy is the guy who started it, passing up people for mayor if he didn’t like them. The best thing to happen to Clayton is that he is off the council.
DeleteWith just one meeting - Kim has eliminated all the BS and nonsense Tillman and Cloven clauses at council meetings for years. You go girl! Keep up the good work. Hope to see you at the Mayors Conference this Thursday.
ReplyDeleteProfessionalism and accountability, thank you Mayor Trupiano!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is a mayor’s conference? Where I come from a conference with the mayor is like being called into the principal’s office. Not good.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Riley! The Mayor's Conference is a joint meeting of all of the Mayors in Contra Costa County addressing municipal and regional concerns. Each city has an opportunity to host a meeting (in a rotating fashion) and this evening it's Clayton's turn to host. If you would like more information please email me at kimt@claytonca.gov.
