§ 19171 County Library Funding Allocation

Key Takeaways

  • •Counties can use money they get from a special 1972 law to help their free libraries.
  • •This money can be used to start a library, keep it running, or buy things like books or buildings for it.
  • •The county leaders (called the 'board of supervisors') get to decide if and how to use this money for libraries.

Example
