NORTHEAST BAKERSFIELD LIBRARY ON THE MOVE

The northeast Bakersfield branch of the Kern County Library is closing Thursday in preparation for a big move.

Librarians will be hauling books and computers all this month to the new building on Oswell Street off Highway 178. Interim Director Andie Apple says the branch will be child focused but still have job training and other workshops for adults. Apple says the space will be smaller and the lease cheaper but the technology will be upgraded.
