The library building and related improvements are owned by the City of Dublin. Through an agreement executed in October 2002, the Alameda County Library operates the library-related activities in the building and provides equipment related to the general operation of the library. The City of Dublin has consistently provided funding to the Alameda County Library in order to extend the number of hours that the library is open to the public. The Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Budget includes funding for 17 additional hours of service per week at the Dublin Library. This represents a 14 hour per week reduction in hours from Fiscal Year 2009-2010. This is a result of the budget shortfall that the City is facing in the upcoming Fiscal Year. The County has prepared a Contract Agreement for funding 17 additional hours of service at a cost of $385,959. It should be noted that the reduction in hours will take place beginning in September 2010. The County of Alameda will fund the difference in hours for July and August in order to allow time to educate the public about the new schedule of hours.
