Pleasanton area residents take <br />out about 1000 books and other items daily. The Library answers approximately <br />100-150 questions every day. This is as much as current revenues allow. <br /> <br />Is the City of Pleasanton interested in augementing these hours to provide addi- <br />tional service to Pleasanton residents? The City of Dublin has done so, and be- <br />ginning next week the Dublin Library will be open on Mondays. <br /> <br />Outlined below for your consideration are costs for additional library hours. <br />breakdown of how the Library determined these costs is available if you have <br />questions. <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Option I - open Monday, 10-5 <br /> annual cost: $36,167 <br /> <br />Option II - open Tuesday evening, 5-9 <br /> annual cost: $20,817 <br /> <br />Option III- open Sunday afternoon, 1-5 <br /> annual cost: $68,874. Note: this figure is higher because no <br />other libraries are open this day and the library's computer center would <br />need to be open and staffed. <br /> <br />These are costs for one year. If the City of Pleasanton contracted with the County <br />Library to provide these services for the rest of this fiscal year, the cost for <br />th~s time would be figured on a proportional basis. <br /> <br />MEMBER Of THE BAY AREA LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SYSTEM <br /> <br /> <br />
