MiraCosta library in the works
Iron workers Bret Messer, left, and Sven Sweat place the final steel beam on the skeleton of MiraCosta College's new library in a topping out ceremony Friday on the Oceanside campus.  The potted evergreen tree on the lest side of the beam symbolized that the structure has gone up with no injuries or loss of life.  About 130 people cheered as the beam was hoisted into place.  The $9.9 million building is expected to open by the end of the year.  It took 17 days to pit the steel in place.
