BRIEFLY SPANISH SPEAKERS SOUGHT FOR LAPD.


Los Angeles city officials announced plans on Wednesday to step up efforts to recruit Spanish-speaking police officers.

``Men and women join the LAPD because they have a commitment and desire to serve their communities,'' Mayor James Hahn said at an event outside Parker Center. ``It's imperative that our police officers be able to communicate with the communities they patrol. I urge Spanish-speaking residents of Los Angeles to apply to become members of the department.''

Hahn was joined by Police Chief Bill Bratton and council members Alex Padilla and Tony Cardenas at the event. The city has planned several programs over the course of the next month to sign up new recruits. For information, applicants can call (866) 444-LAPD or check the Web page at www.lapdonline.org.

$8.2 million going to library project

A state board overseeing bond money awarded Calabasas $8.2 million to build a new library.

The funds, part of a $350 million bond measure passed by voters in 2000 to help fund city's library construction and expand literacy programs, would pay for two-thirds of the construction cost.

Planned as part of a new Calabasas Civic Center complex, the city expects to break ground on a 230,000 square feet facility next year.

Since the city incorporated, more than a decade ago, its library has moved five times, twice under county operation and three times since 1999 under the city's operation.

The new library would replace the city's current library which occupies a rental property in the Calabasas Park Center.
