Information

Request/Subject

Approval of Library Service Agreements for Globe, Payson, Tonto Basin, and Young public libraries for FY 2023.

Background Information

The Gila County Library District contracts annually with the seven 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. Currently, we have four Library Service Agreements returned.

For FY 2023, the Hayden Public Library will continue to be operated as a branch of the Gila County Library District.

Evaluation

Library funding is based on the aggregate percentages of the four library service measures, from the baseline FY12, along with a base amount for each of the community libraries. This year's funding totals are as follows:

Globe Public Library - $121,900
Payson Public Library - $250,900
Tonto Basin Public Library - $78,100
Young Public Library - $61,600

The Library District will distribute these amounts in two installments -- the first in November 2022 and the second in May 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

Conclusion

Approval of the FY 2023 Library Service Agreements will facilitate funding and resource sharing with the affiliate libraries of the Gila County Library District.

Recommendation

The Gila County District Librarian recommends approval of the FY 2023 Library Service Agreements between the Gila County Library District and the City of Globe, Town of Payson, Tonto Basin Public Library Board, and Pleasant Valley Community Library Board of the Young Public Library.
