Statistical de...a from those reports are tabulated in this publication, with directorylistingspublished in the companion volume, California Library Directory. Although thestatistics program andthese publica- tions are promoted as widely as we can participation for most is volun- tary (public libraries are required by the Education Code to report an- nually to the State Librarian) and some choose not to do so. This makes the state summary less than complete. Libraries failing to return the re- port form two years in a row are dropped from the free publications dis- tribution list. At present, no state agency collects data on school li- braries, K-12. For fiscal year 1984-1985 we have reports from 990 libraries. We estimate there are atleast1,200 libraries in operation in California, exclusive of school libraries, co data in these publications are about 802 complete. At present, no state agencycollectsdata on school libraries, K-12. By type of library, the number reporting are: 169 public libraries with 2,945 public service outlets. By juris- dictions, there are 43 county, 106 city, eight combined city-county, and 12 district public libr:ries. By level of service, there are: 163 main libraries. Administrative headquarters are not included, and some county or district libraries have no main library. 587 branch libraries.

A station is a library structure smaller than a branch, providing a lower level of service. 1,855 mobile library stops. A mobile library stop is a location vis- ited by a bookmobile or other traveling library. There are 80 mobile li- braries in operation this year.
