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 SS/ljf cc: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian cAj\commission\msterpin.ltr
