Objective 3: Use of the neighborhood library collections will increase by 10% per year. The collections at both neighborhood libraries are being re-balanced. The experiment of having primarily adult fiction at one location and non-fiction at the other, has failed. This will be re- examined after the collections are redistributed. The fiction collection is growing at the West End and the non-fiction collection at the Bay Farm Island Library needs to be adjusted before a true count can be taken.

Lucy Gigli, President of BikeAlameda, was impressed with the quarterly report and how it is shown. It makes everything clear. About the Shoreline Dr/Westline Dr bike lane project, BikeAlameda is hoping to have a lot of public input.
