NEW: Judge rules that the anti-trans “Protect Kids CA” ballot initiative will have to use the title given by AG Rob Bonta. If supporters gather enough signatures, the initiative will appear on the Nov. 2024 ballot by its accurate name: “Restricts Rights of Transgender Youth”
@mjszabo My most recent experience at the library was on April 15th, when I went to the library to print a copy of my tax return. The system was down, and the librarian went above and beyond to help me out. The people who work at the library are the cities biggest assets.
