Reading is one of the important building blocks to shaping our future. The town of Bakersfield, California has the lowest literacy rate in America. Our objective in renovating the Rathbun Branch library was to attract more of the community. We also wanted to provide them with a more enjoyable place to read, and more access to reading material. The current library contains 7,000 square feet, while the renovated building will be increased to 33,000 square feet. In order to meet the needs of the future population (based on the 2020 Kern County master plan) the library needs to expand to at least four times its current size. We acquired the adjacent land next to the parking lot for current parking with additional spaces.
