Goals Proposed to Meet the Challenges
After consideration of numerous options to expand library services to meet the current and
future demand from the community, project consultants recommend the following short
term, intermediate term and long term goals:
Short Term Goals (0 to 2 years)
1. Expand book collection through off site storage.
2. Continue and expand "weeding" efforts to make more room for new books.
3. Identify means of increasing capacity of existing library, including the installation of
more shelving and compact (sliding) shelving. (Have begun to address this goal by
obtaining a proposal to provide compact shelving for 10,000 new volumes for a cost
of $32,000.)
4. Increase hours of operation--mornings, evenings and weekends. (Have begun to
address this goal in the 2000/2001 budget by adding morning hours and additional
Sunday hours.)
5. Expand on-line access to library services to the community (24 hours X 7 days).
Examples: See "Appendix IV: Cyberservices" for information on technology
enhancements possible.
6. Expand bookmobile and other outreach services. (Examples: "Kidsmobile Project;
satellite collection in Senior Center; Cyberlibrary in Terra Vista Town Center, etc.)
7. Continue to nurture relationship with School Districts and other non profit partners.
8. Create funding mechanism for library system growth. Examples: See "Appendix III
Funding Mechanisms" for information on Proposition 14 Application package.
Intermediate Term Goals (2 to 5 years)
1. As the eastern side of the City develops, develop a 6,000-10,000 sq. ft. interim
branch library, on a location which allows for future expansion
2. Develop a new 25,000-35,000 sq. ft. Main Library (expandable) with different
emphasis than current library (youth library, homework center, etc.). Target
Proposition 14 as a possible source for funding.
Long Term (5-20+ years)
1. As the community grows, expand Main Library as necessary.
2. As the eastern side of the community develops, expand interim branch to 20,000-
30,000 sq. ft. or develop a new facility to replace the interim branch.
3. As the entire community reaches build-out, evaluate mission of the existing
Archibald Library to validate match with the needs of the surrounding community.
