Portola Valley library celebrates 're-opening'
(September 28, 2005) A celebration is set for Thursday, September 29, to formally open the Portola Valley town library at its new and temporary location in two former classrooms on the Corte Madera School campus at 4575 Alpine Road.
The library actually opened August 1 after moving the books and materials from the now-abandoned library at Town Center.
The ceremony is set for 4:30 p.m., but stories will be read aloud for infants starting at 10:30 a.m., and for preschoolers and toddlers at 1:30 p.m. The day will include refreshments, crafts, a book give-away for all and door prizes.
For more information, call Branch Manager Susan Goetz at 868-3098.
The old Town Center library closed after library employees and management chose to abandon the building following a report of its vulnerability to collapse in a major earthquake, a diagnosis that applies to most of the buildings at Town Center.
A new complex that includes a larger library is planned for the 11.2-acre site but at the northwest corner, an area in which buildings would shake but not collapse in a major quake, geologists have said.
