Overview

Revises the date by which a city or town (municipality's) Library Trustees must complete their annual report.

History

A municipality's governing body can appoint residents as trustees of its library. A municipality with fewer than 3,000 inhabitants may have six trustees. All other municipalities may have nine trustees. Trustees hold office for three years with no compensation. The trustees have charge of the library and all library property (A.R.S. §§ 9-414, 9-415).

The annual report submitted by Library Trustees must include: 1) a full statement of all property and money received, where it's derived from, how it's used and expended; 2) the number of books, journals and other publications on hand; and 3) other statistics, information and suggestions that may be of general interest (A.R.S. § 9-418).

Provisions
