BACKGROUNDINFORMATIONFar East County has experienced
tremendous growth over the last ten years. Many families are looking
to East County as a place to raise their families in a safe
environment, where their children have plenty of room to play and
grow. This growth has increased the need for many youth oriented
services . One such -need is a children's room in the Brentwood
Library.
The Brentwood "Friends of .the Library" have worked
tirelessly to raise funds to expand the children's room of the
library. As a result of this effort, they have received many private
donations as well as $25,000 from the City of Brentwood Redevelopment
Agency. Additionally, they have a commitment from Cowell Foundation
for a $50,000 grant, if they can find the funds to match it. County

Foundation grant.
