Request/Subject

Library Service Agreements for Isabelle Hunt (Pine), Miami, Payson, Tonto Basin, and Young public libraries for FY 2022.

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 five Library Service Agreements returned.

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:

Isabelle Hunt Memorial Public Library (Pine) - $113,600
Miami Memorial Public Library - $56,900
Payson Public Library - $239,000
Tonto Basin Public Library - $74,400
Young Public Library - $58,750

The Library District will distribute these amounts in two installments -- the first in November 2021 and the second in May 2022.

Conclusion

Approval of the FY 2022 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 2022 Library Service Agreements between the Gila County Library District and the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Public Library, Town of Miami, Payson Public Library, Tonto Basin Public Library, and Young Public Library.
