Dear Chairperson and Members of the Board:
The Contra Costa County Library Commission has reviewed the Master Plan again, as
directed by the Board. We believe the plan is still generally applicable and is a
comprehensive blue print for an excellent library system. We recommend that the Board
of Supervisors adopt the Master Plan at this time.
The Commission also recognizes that there are several issues which will make it
impossible to fully implement the plan unless they are resolved. These issues include
financing, governance and the use of volunteers. The Commission respectfully urges the
Board to set up some type of mechanism to bring the various parties involved together in
order to solve these problems. The Commission would like to offer any assistance in this
effort and certainly would like to be involved.
We feel there is a sense of urgency in obtaining a solution to these problems. There is
danger of the whole system disintegrating as some cities may find it appealing to try and
r
organize their own libraries. The Commission is committed to a County wide system and
views the possibility of fragmentation with alarm.
Sincerely,
Susanna Schlendorf, Chairperson
Contra Costa County Library Commission
