Tehachapi Awaits Opening Of New Downtown Library

Kern County Public Library Facebook
The new home for the Tehachapi Library will open on Monday December 4th

The former Masonic Lodge on East Green Street in downtown Tehachapi is soon to become the new home of the city's branch of the Kern County Library. The move to the new, larger, more modern space has been long awaited by the residents of the mountain community. We spoke with Jasmin LoBasso about the planned opening on Monday December 4th, to hear more about items that remain on the library's wish list, and new activities planned for the new space.
