§ 18766 Statewide Library Communication Network

Key Takeaways

  • •The state makes a big network so all libraries can share books and info easily.
  • •This includes big state libraries, small town libraries, and even school libraries.
  • •The goal is to help people find and borrow stuff from any library, not just their local one.

Example

You live in a small town and need a special book for school, but your local library doesn’t have it.

Thanks to this law, your library can ask a bigger library in another city to lend you the book. You get what you need without traveling far.
