fit with the overall master plan.

and Moorpark Friends of the Library to offer ideas, experience and
suggestions about what goes into a library of this size.

Society in order to offer unique and authoritative materials of
historical importance as way to promote local community
engagement;

mobile with computer and web access and/or mini-branches at
coffee shops;
3. Investigate ways to bring our location dispersed communities
together;
