Directoryinformationfrom those reports is compiled forthis publica- tion, with statisticaltabulationspublished in the companion volume, California Library Statistics. Although the statistics program and these publications are promoted as widely aswe can,participation for most is voluntary (public libraries are required by the Education Codeto report to the State Librarian) and some choose not to do so. This makes the state summaries and directory less than complete. Libraries failing to return the report form two years ina row are dropped from the free publications distribution list. California cooperates with the National Center for EducationStatistics in the collection of uniform public library data nationwide. For fiscal year 1988-1989 welist 866 libraries. We estimate there are at le.ast 1,000 librariesin operationin California,exclusive of school libraries, so datain these publications are about 86% complete. By type of library, the number reporting are: 168publiclibraries with 3,031 public service points. By juris- dictions, there are 48 county,105 city,four combined city-county, and 11 district public libraries. This year, King City Library merged with Monterey County Library, reducing the number of city libraries and the total of library jurisdictions. The four city-county libraries are Riverside, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, and Stockton-San Joaquin County. Public libraries by level of serviceare: 162 main libraries.

A station is a library structure smaller than a branch, providing a lower level of service. 1,872 mobile library stops.
