§ 19107 County-City Library Contracts

Key Takeaways

  • •Counties with free libraries can make deals with cities that have their own free libraries.
  • •The deal lets city residents use the county library just like county residents do.
  • •The city pays the county for this privilege, and the money goes to the county library fund.
  • •The exact rules and payment are decided in the contract between the county and the city.

Example

A small city has its own library, but it’s tiny and doesn’t have many books. The county next door has a big library with lots of books, computers, and fun programs.

The city and the county can make a deal so that people living in the city can use the big county library too. The city pays the county some money, and then city residents can borrow books or use the computers at the county library just like people who live in the county can.

§ 19107 County-City Library Contracts

The board of supervisors of any county in which a county free library has been established may enter into contracts with any city maintaining a free public library, and any such city, through its board of trustees or other legislative body, may enter into contracts with the county to secure to the residents of the city the same privileges of the county free library as are granted to, or enjoyed by, the residents of the county outside of the city, or such privileges as are agreed upon in the contract, upon such consideration named in the contract as is agreed upon, to be paid into the county free library fund. Thereupon the residents of the city shall have the same privileges with regard to the county free library as the residents of the county outside of the city, or such privileges as are agreed upon by the contract. (Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
