This, if figured separately,would be no small amount.Present plans of the Commissioners „ Couid for expansion of th ' lt;lt;nuthouseprovide additional space for the CastroCounty Library with an outside door on th? east directly into the library, which would allow the library to be open after 5 p.m. for greater use by grade and high sc hool students, persons from neighboring communities and commuting college students, who find it difficult to use the college library while (’living to and from classes.
