Information

Request/Subject

Library Service Agreements with Globe, San Carlos, and Young Libraries.

Background Information

The Gila County Library District contracts yearly with the eight affiliate public libraries to cooperate in the provision of library services to the citizens of the District. These Library Service Agreements serve as contracts for facilitating funding and resource sharing. Five Library Service Agreements were approved by the Board on August 5, 2014. These are the remaining three Library Service Agreements.

Evaluation

Library funding is based on the aggregate percentages of the four library service measures, from the baseline FY 2012 year along with a base amount for each of the community libraries. Due to the five percent decrease in revenue from the secondary tax for library assistance, the funding amounts to each of the eight affiliate libraries has been decreased by five percent. This year's funding totals are as follows: Globe Public Library - $107,920.00; San Carlos Public Library - $31,920.00; and Young Public Library - $52,820.00. The Library District distributes these funds in two installments; November 2014 and May 2015.

Conclusion

Approval of the Library Service Agreements facilitates funding and resource sharing with the affiliate libraries.

Recommendation

The Gila County District Librarian recommends the approval of the Library Service Agreements between the Gila County Library District and Globe Public Library, San Carlos Public Library, and Young Public Library for fiscal year 2014-2015.
