In the City's 2021 community survey, 73 percent of the respondents noted that providing public library services as extremely and very important, while at the same time indicating an 8 percent reduction in satisfaction in the provision of public library services. Notably, a Library and Recreation mobile outreach vehicle would expand access to services by offering books and materials for borrowing as well as program opportunities at locations beyond the library. It is intended to serve the entire community, with a focus on populations of our city that are often lower-income and lack access or regular transportation. Additionally, this vehicle will invigorate existing Library and Recreation customers by offering fun, educational programs that reflect the needs of Pleasanton's diverse population, welcoming people of all ages and abilities. Whether it's lending books or technology, sports equipment or STEAM kits, the expectation is that the mobile outreach vehicle will expand the department's services to all who live in Pleasanton.
