Does Los Gatos need a bigger library?
The Los Gatos library was built in 1964 when the population of the Town was about 9,000. With a population today of about 30,000 and the high levels of usage (209,000 visits per year and growing), the library does not have sufficient space to meet the needs of the community. The American Library Association and the Pew Foundation have documented through surveys and studies that use of public libraries continues to increase, particularly in the areas of electronic resources, young adult activity, and community gathering purposes.
