<br />LIBRARY FACILITIES ANn I'IWC.RAMS
<br />
<br />One of the primary factors in the quality of life in Pleasanton is the quality of its public library
<br />facilities. Pleasanton's library contributes to Ihe intellectual, educational, and recreational life of its
<br />residents. The library serves the community as a center of infonnation, educalion, and enrichment
<br />for children and adults. A good library requires a collection covering the range and depth of
<br />information needed by the community. Planning for quality library services also includes programs
<br />for all age levels, convenient hours, and a-sensitivity to physical, language, or cultural barriers.
<br />
<br />Completed in 1988, the I'leasanton Library is a City-owned building occupying 30,000 square feet
<br />of floor area. The library collection has approximately HtH.6il,OOO catalogued books, CD, hnok,
<br />on tap~ ~-hook, nvn, and other items. It has and continues to expand access to automated
<br />information services including the library catalogue, informational databases, and other
<br />electronically-based information services. Tl,~ liu,,"y i~ I'd,t vI' tl." Al'"I1~Jd CUIIIIly Libld'y
