BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

OC Community Resources/OC Public Libraries (OCCR/OCPL) is one of 11 Orange County member libraries that are part of the state-funded Santiago Library System network. The 11 members of the Santiago Library System include: Anaheim Public Library, Buena Park Public Library, Fullerton Public Library, Huntington Beach Public Library, Mission Viejo Public Library, Newport Beach Public Library, OCCR/OCPL, Orange Public Library, Placentia Public Library, Santa Ana Public Library and Yorba Linda Public Library; the Orange County Public Law Library is an associate member.

 

The Santiago Library System is one of nine California cooperative library systems charged with administering programs, services and distribution of funds. California public libraries engage in cooperative efforts through these systems and receive funding designed to assist and encourage interlibrary cooperation to help facilitate the sharing of local library collections. Members receive funds disbursed under the California Library Services Act (CLSA) from the California State Library for communication and delivery services, advocacy support and internet services. Each year, the Santiago Library System distributes funding allocated under CLSA to its members according to a formula based on population.

 

The funding provided by CLSA to the Santiago Library System is used to provide Electronic Resources and/or Library Broadband to communities.
