Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library facilities will be closed from March 19 – 21, 2010 for a combination of furlough and closed days.  The non-paid furlough and closed days were approved by city council at the beginning of this fiscal year and have been implemented to help address significant budget challenges faced by the City of Stockton.
