How can municipalities provide library service?
Under the Public Libraries Act municipalities may provide library service in a number of ways. They may establish a public library to serve their own municipality, or establish a union public library by agreement with one or more other municipalities, or when two-thirds of the municipalities in a county so request, a county may establish a county library to serve those municipalities. Instead of establishing a library board, a municipality may enter into an agreement whereby another library board will provide library service for that municipality.
