The <br />new library served both Redwood City (City) and unincorporated County residents and was funded jointly <br />by Redwood City and San Mateo County. A number of cost sharing and service agreements have been in <br />place over the years. <br />In 1995, the branch moved to its current location on Middlefield Road sharing space with the County's <br />Human Services Agency. That same year, the County and the Redwood City entered into a "Common <br />Use/Shared Facility License Agreement" whereby the City of Redwood City agreed to operate the Fair <br />Oaks Library, with the County contributing to the annual operating costs of the Library, on the basis that <br />50% of the library's service population came from the neighboring unincorporated North Fair Oaks area. <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />399 <br />
