Thousand Oaks Library System
There are approximately 370,000 items in the collection, including books, magazines, newspapers, recorded books on cassette and CD, videocassettes and DVDs, CD-ROMs, puppets and music CDs. New materials are ordered daily to the library to add to their already vast collection. The library system no longer uses the card catalog system, but rather a computer database system to store all library information. The library system also offers large meeting rooms and auditoriums at both library locations, and the Conejo Valley Art Exhibition at the Newbury Park Branch, which is constantly running and previewing local artists' work.
