Summary
(1) Existing law establishes a board of law library trustees in each county and requires each board to establish and maintain a law library at the county seat in the county in which it is appointed. Existing law authorizes the board of law library trustees to permit the removal of any books and other publications from the library and its branches as it considers proper, subject to the rules, and in its discretion, the giving of security as the board provides. Existing law authorizes the board to provide for the levy of fines and charges for violation of the rules, and authorizes the board to impose charges to cover the cost of special services, such as the making of photocopies of pages of library books and messenger service. This bill would additionally authorize the board to impose charges for electronic delivery, other delivery services, educational programs, special events, and provision of supplies or food services. (2) Existing law establishes the California State Library under the direction of the State Librarian. Existing law specifies the duties of the State Librarian, including giving advisory, consultative, and technical assistance with respect to public libraries to librarians and library authorities, making studies and surveys of public library needs, and adopting rules and regulations for the allocation of federal funds to public libraries. This bill would define a "public library" for purposes of the provisions governing the California State Library to mean any public library, as defined for purposes of the Education Code, or any county law library.
