How does a library become a School District Public Library?
To form a School District Public Library a petition signed by at least 25 voters within a school district is submitted to a school board requesting that a proposition be placed before the voters to create a School District Public Library. The school board must comply and either place propositions to create and fund a public library and elect trustees before voters at its next annual election or schedule a special election for that purpose. If the propositions pass, the newly elected library board applies for a charter from the Board of Regents. The service area of a School District Public Library must mirror the boundaries of the school district.
