<br />operating permits to provide advanced life support and ambulance transport services
<br />within a region (Delta Stewardship Council 2017).

<br />3.15.1.5 Libraries
<br />Each county provides public library services to its residents, often in coordination with
<br />cities. Public libraries typically are funded by local property taxes, state funds, library
<br />fines and fees, grants, and donations. In addition to traditional services, county libraries
<br />increasingly provide additional community services such as adult literacy programs,
<br />mobile book services, children’s programs, and internet access. Demand for library
<br />services is affected by population growth and demographic changes (Delta Stewardship
<br />Council 2017).
<br />3.15.1.6 Parks
<br />The Delta contains numerous parks, wildlife areas, ecological reserves, and open
<br />spaces. Some of these areas within or in close proximity to the Proposed Project area

<br />Preserve, Brannon Island State Recreation Area, Franks Tract State Recreation Area,
<br />Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife Area, and small public parks located within communities.
