Chamber Luncheon "Better Libraries for Kern County"

Rachel Glauser of "Better Libraries for Kern County" spoke to the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce at their July 21 luncheon meeting. The organization is a coalition of Kern citizens, taxpayers and small business owners who are encouraging the Kern County Board of Supervisors to consider public-private partnership (P3) in the operations of our public libraries.

The partnerships would allow the libraries to remain public assets but be operated by the private sector. The group believes that the operation would be more efficient and allow for an increase of library hours, as well as the number oif resourses, including library books and materials.
