Walnut Park Library in Davis on Friday Current and former Yolo County library staff and Ryan Pistochini director of general services at the groundbreaking for the Walnut Park Library in Davis on Friday Friday was a momentous day for the Davis community The long-awaited Walnut Park Library has officially broken ground in South Davis library supporters and schoolchildren from nearby Montgomery Elementary School gathered together to celebrate the project The newest Yolo County branch library will be the second in the city the 12,400-square-foot Walnut Park Library will feature a 1,475 square foot community room The project was designed by WMB Architects District 2 Supervisor Lucas Frerichs has experience working on this project from both the city and the county side Frerichs spoke about how the project coming to fruition required resilient teamwork from the community as well as the city According to former state senator Lois Wolk the project was identified in the city’s General Plan efforts as far back as 1990 the Yolo County Library was awarded $8.7 million as part of the Building Forward Grant from the California State Library to help fund the Walnut Park Library project the city of Davis pledged $1.5 million of American Rescue Plan Act fund dollars to the project $850,000 was received for the project from Congressman Mike Thompson and Measure T was passed by Davis voters providing ongoing funding for operations of the Walnut Park and Stephens Davis Branches It will increase the annual special library tax by $49 annually “The theme of this entire endeavor was keeping the eye on the prize,” said Frerichs Former District 4 Supervisor Jim Provenza was instrumental in making the Walnut Park Library project a reality But if you keep at it and it’s important enough Provenza also stated the important role libraries play in our democracy the land that the library will sit on was officially transferred from the city of Davis to Yolo County Davis Council member Josh Chapman represents District 5 the district in which the new library is located As a parent of children who attended Montgomery Elementary Chapman is familiar with the former South Davis Montgomery Branch satellite library that operated out of the school’s library Chapman also spoke about a satellite library that was set up near Sudwerk Brewery a few years ago when the Stephens Branch was undergoing construction Chapman says library staff were excited about seeing new faces from South Davis and registering new library users “Now some of those access barriers are gone,” stated Chapman Thompson reminisced about taking his now 26 year old granddaughter to the library when she was young The message he passed to those in attendance important and vital when it comes to accessing information can’t wait to attend the library’s ribbon cutting ceremony Without the $8.7 million grant from the state library the project would likely still be just a plan on paper Deputy State Librarian Rebecca Wendt is happy that the state could help “A library can help you lift barriers and go beyond them,” said Wendt read for pleasure and have connections made to other resources in your community who was heavily involved in the ‘Yes on Measure T’ campaign ended the groundbreaking by asking the group to take a breath and enjoy the exciting occasion after enduring such a long road to

from organized cleanup efforts led by the local Episcopal Churches who later became a unified group still known to us as Partners for Environmental Justice (PEJ) grassroots organization designed to restore wetland health with the goal of providing economic educational and beautification benefits to the historically Black communities of Biltmore Hills and Rochester Heights.   Annexed by the City of Raleigh in 2003 and opened in September of 2009 Walnut Creek Wetland Education Center and Nature Park still moves to uphold the ideologies of Dr Norman Camp by continuing its partnership with PEJ and the surrounding communities to increase awareness of the importance of wetland health and foster positive human interaction with the natural environment The park is intended to protect this urban green space for the continued enjoyment of all people and the promotion of environmental stewardship The Master Plan design for Walnut Creek Wetland Park originally included a community garden and other food related elements to help raise awareness about food deserts and insecurities around the city – specifically in Southeast Raleigh Located along Little Rock Greenway and across the street from the Norman and Betty Camp Education Center this Community Food Forest is the first public orchard that the City of Raleigh has established.  We are open Tuesday through Saturday at 10 a.m. We are
