While signs at the site on Eureka told passerbys about the planned construction, it may have appeared that the only work yet to be done was with the parking lot. Not so. All of a sudden I saw the existing building was gone and construction was underway for the planned new Library Learning Center.

A North County times article helps those unfamiliar with the situation to understand what's happening. Through the fund-raising efforts of Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation, at least $5 million dollars was raised (by the time of the article) to pay for a new building to house Adult Learning and Centro de Informacion programs now housed in temporary quarters near the Senior Center at one end of Pine Avenue Park.

The project is slated for completion in February, 2008. Hopefully all the required funds have been raised.

I wonder if the relocation of the services to the new center will free up space for more suitable restrooms for Pine Avenue Park. The existing one seem quite limited considering the amount of activity in the park.
