About Some City Public LibraryMission and PhilosophySome City Public Library has a long commitment to serving the needs of the very diverse community of Some City. Since 1980, Some City has participated in long range planning which has evaluated all aspects of library services and collections in an effort to provide effective programs and materials. As a result, a formal Collection Development Policy and a Technology Plan has been adopted. The library maintains a collection of books, videos, magazines and cassettes in both Spanish language and English language. The library has had a CDROM local area network since 1991, has a large Community Computing Center, and has created a system of resource sharing and personnel outsourcing with the local elementary school district.
