New veterans resource center to open

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – The California Department of Veterans Affairs is scheduled Friday to open a resource center at the San Diego Central Library.

The facility will be the 18th library location in California where former military members can get help. Another five will open later this year, according to the department.

The centers provide information on federal and state benefits, as well as available local services.

A resource center for veterans already operates at the Point Loma/Hervey branch, 3701 Voltaire St., on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays.
