YES ON L

NO ON PROP K

STOP CITY HALL FROM SELLING
SAN FRANCISCO TO DEVELOPERS,
SPECULATORS AND LOBBYISTS!

A tidal wave of development is sweeping renters, small business
artists and community services out of San Francisco!

**AN EXPLOSION** of dot-com offices and phony "live/work" lofts is driving up rents and home prices, forcing out working people, clogging our streets, overcrowding our buses and destroying our quality of life. **7.5 million square feet** of office development is now under construction or approved by City Hall. Think it's bad now? This speculative boom will put **tens of thousands of new cars** on our streets, require **750 new MUNI buses** the City has no plans to buy, and add demand for **10,500 housing units** we don't have. It's time for San Francisco citizens to take back control of our city. Nov. 7, voters will have the opportunity to chart the future of our city's growth by voting **Yes on L**.

VOTE YES ON PROP L TO HALT RUNAWAY DEVELOPMENT!
VOTE NO ON PROP K TO STOP THE DEVELOPERS' POWER GRAB!

YOUTH LIBRARY, FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS

<table><tr><td>Designer</td><td>Carl Koch, Architect; Frederic L. Day, Jr., Leon Lipshutz and Margaret Ross, Associates</td></tr><tr><td>Date</td><td>Completed 1950</td></tr></table>

A highly successful approach to the problem of a multipurpose facility for a small city is the Youth Library at Fitchburg, an industrial community in central Massachusetts. Built next to the old library, the new structure is not only a children's library, but also provides for exhibitions, meetings and theater programs.

The U-shaped structure was designed to create a hospitable, relaxed atmosphere, light and airy, which children would enjoy for reading and talks and films. The scheme revolves around a central patio of considerable size in recognition that an in-town site had to create its own environment. This patio has been treated as an extension of the indoors. It is a pleasant, quiet place, amply furnished with benches and chairs that invite use. The court was specially planned to provide a varied picture for the roving eye; there is sculptural detail by Gyorgy and Juliet Kepes and a fountain by William Talbot, as well as a view of the sky. The low height of the building imparts a feeling of intimacy and allows interesting views of a nearby church spire and the larger form of the adult library building.

The financing of the new addition reflects the community's interest in the project. The city contributed $100,000, to be matched by the citizens. Actually, they raised $120,000, not counting $10,000 that children raised through odd jobs and allowances. Since the building opened in 1950, use of the library has more than doubled.
