EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The El Centro Public Library has opened its doors.

They are operating at 25 percent capacity which means only 35 people can be inside the facility and that number includes staff.

The public library has always had multiple functions one of those being giving bathroom access to the homeless.

“Due to COVID we can only have people come in once a day and use the bathroom once and people have gotten mad at that, said Enriquetta Nuñez, library staff.

Gianella Ghiglino

Peruvian-born and LA raised Gianella Ghiglino joins the team from the San Fernando valley. “LA is the place that taught me how to breath and Peru is my breath.” She says she was inspired by the community she grew up in and began documenting her experience through poetry at the age of 7. “I wrote about everything I saw, felt and everything that inspired me.” When she entered High School she joined her school news station and realized that broadcast journalism allowed her to pursue her passion and her purpose all at once. Gianella attended Cal State Northridge and received a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish Broadcast Journalism, and Political Science. She did several internships while in College but most notably interned for PBS’s local LA station for three years. “My purpose is to share my story and of those in my community, my passion is writing.”
