Construction booked: North Sunnyvale to get long-sought library as city inks $23M contract

NORTH SUNNYVALE RESIDENTS will be able to access the city’s library resources closer to home by next year.

The Sunnyvale City Council on May 21 unanimously awarded Bobo Constructions a $23 million contract to build the Lakewood Branch Library and Learning Center, the city’s first expansion of its main library services. While it will have the programs expected of a library, such as story time for children, it will offer others focused on language learning, cultural events and creation spaces. The library will be about 22,000 square feet and construction is slated to begin this summer, with a projected opening in late 2025.
