Sunnyvale
Summary
Almost every library applicant was asked how the city should recover from the failed 2024 library bond measure. Candidates suggested smaller, targeted bond measures, renovations instead of a full rebuild, public-private partnerships, and naming rights. The next Library Board will likely weigh in on this big-ticket decision.
