No libraries doesn't speak well for the educational climate there. Otherwise, I have heard that G.P. is a beautiful place to live and we are looking into relocating there.

District 7 is in great shape, they get lots of $. THey have a performing arts theater like none you have ever seen at a high school level. Professional performances passing by on the I-5 stop and perform.
The sports facilities are amazing, they have an astro turf style football stadium, a basketball gym the Blazers could play in. Great soccer fields.
As to the libraries, all the school libraries are open for the summer, they have more than picked up the slack of the County library, and they are already paid for. Personally I think it was overdue, and my kids used the County library a lot. We have 5 addicted readers. Now they can go to the schools libraries and get books. They have better computers there too.
The parents are very involved in helping out at the different schools, we homeschool, but some of our friends that don't, speak highly of the schools.
Come check it out, see if it fits.
best wishes,
