Conditions under which library systems are entitled to state aid
Status: in_force

The "area served" by a public library system for the purposes of\nthis article shall mean the area which the public library system\nproposes to serve in its approved plan of service. In determining the\npopulation of the area served by the public library system the\npopulation shall be deemed to be that shown by the latest federal census\nfor the political subdivisions in the area served. Such population shall\nbe certified in the same manner as provided by section fifty-four of the\nstate finance law except that such population shall include the\nreservation and school Indian population and incarcerated individuals of\nstate institutions under the direction, supervision or control of the\nstate department of corrections and community supervision, the state\ndepartment of mental hygiene and the state department of social welfare.\nIn the event that any of the political subdivisions receiving library\nservice are included within a larger political subdivision which is a\npart of the public library system the population used for the purposes\nof computing state aid shall be the population of the larger political\nsubdivision, provided however, that where any political subdivision\nwithin a larger political subdivision shall have taken an interim census\nsince the last census taken of the larger political subdivision, the\npopulation of the larger political subdivision may be adjusted to\nreflect such interim census and, as so adjusted, may be used until the\nnext census of such larger political subdivision. In the event that the\narea served is not coterminous with a political subdivision, the\npopulation of which is shown on such census, or the area in square miles\nof which is available from official sources, such population and area\nshall be determined, for the purpose of computation of state aid\npursuant to section two hundred seventy-three of this part by applying\nto the population and area in square miles of such political\nsubdivision, the ratio which exists between the assessed valuation of\nthe portion of such political subdivision included within the area\nserved and the total assessed valuation of such political subdivision.\n  c. Members of a public library system shall be those public, free\nassociation, and Indian libraries located within the service area which\nhave been admitted to membership prior to July first, nineteen hundred\nseventy-eight, or which apply for and are granted membership subsequent\nto that date with the approval of the commissioner. No public library\nsystem shall be subject to any loss of benefits under these provisions\nwhere such system has made reasonable effort to prevent the unapproved\nwithdrawal of such library from the system and the system demonstrates,\nin a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, that the residents of the\narea encompassed by the withdrawing library will continue to benefit\nfrom the library services provided by the public library system.\n  d. "Approved plan" as used in this article means a plan of library\nservice by a public library system approved by the commissioner\nsubsequent to May first, nineteen hundred fifty-eight.\n  e. Approval shall not be given to a public library system unless it\nwill serve at least two hundred thousand people or four thousand square\nmiles of area, provided, however, that provisional approval may be given\nto a public library system which will serve at least fifty thousand\npersons provided the area served includes three or more political\nsubdivisions and provided further that a satisfactory plan of expansion\nof service to be followed during the ensuing five-year period is adopted\nby such library system and approved by the commissioner.\n  f. The board of trustees of the public library system shall submit to\nthe commissioner the plan of library service. Such plan shall be\nsupported by such information as the commissioner may require in the\nform prescribed by him.\n  g. No such plan of library service shall be approved by the\ncommissioner unless he finds that it provides for the residents of the\narea served thereby a method conforming to the regulations of the\ncommissioner by which the participating libraries are obligated to\npermit the loan of books and material among members of the system for\nuse on the same basis permitted by the library which owns or controls\nthem.\n  h. The commissioner shall by regulation provide the standard of\nservice with which such a public library system must comply. Such\nregulations shall, among other things, relate to the total book stock;\nthe diversity of such book stock with respect to general subjects and\ntype of literature, provided that such regulations shall not, directly\nor indirectly, prohibit the inclusion of a particular book, periodical\nor material or the works of a particular author or the expression of a\nparticular point of view; annual additions to book stock; circulation of\nbook stock; maintenance of catalogues; number and location of libraries\nor branch libraries; hours of operation and number and qualifications of\npersonnel, necessary to enable a public library system to render\nadequate service. Such regulations may establish standards which differ\non the basis of population; density of population; the actual valuation\nof the taxable property within the area served; the condition of library\nfacilities in existence on April first, nineteen hundred fifty-seven;\nthe amount raised by taxation by or for the area served; the relation of\nsuch amount to population and actual value of the property taxed; the\nrelation of the amount of funds received by a public library sytem from\nlocal taxes to that derived from private contributions; or on such other\nbasis as the commissioner finds necessary to provide for the equitable\ndistribution of state aid.\n  i. Each public library system receiving state aid pursuant to this\nsection and section two hundred seventy-three shall furnish such\ninformation regarding its library service as the commissioner may from\ntime to time require to discharge his duties under such sections. The\ncommissioner may at any time revoke his approval of a plan of library\nservice if he finds that the public library system operating under such\nplan no longer conforms to the provisions of this section or the\nregulations promulgated by the commissioner hereunder; or, in the case\nof provisional approval, if such library system no longer conforms to\nthe agreement, plans or conditions upon which such provisional approval\nwas based. In such case a public library system shall not thereafter be\nentitled to state aid pursuant to this section or section two hundred\nseventy-three unless and until its plan of library service is again\napproved by the commissioner.\n  j. (1) In the event that the sum total of local sponsor support raised\nby local taxation exclusive of the sum raised for capital expenditures\nfor the support of a public library system and participating libraries\nin a twelve month period is less than ninety-five per centum of the\naverage of the amounts raised for such purposes by local taxation for\nthe two preceding twelve month periods, the state aid to which such\nlibrary system would otherwise be entitled shall be reduced by\ntwenty-five per centum. Such state aid shall likewise be reduced by\ntwenty-five per centum in the event that the public library system shall\nrefuse after reasonable notice to make provision for the expansion of\nthe area served in accordance with the regulations of the commissioner.\nUpon receipt of annual systems and participating libraries activity\nreports satisfactory to the commissioner, the commissioner shall\ndetermine the amount of any underpayment or overpayments related to\nmaintenance of effort and shall apply such adjustment to the next annual\npayment due such library system. In the first year in which any library\nsystem changes its reporting from the calendar year to a fiscal year\nother than the calendar year, it shall file any additional reporting\nschedules deemed necessary by the commissioner for the purpose of\ndetermining maintenance of effort as required herein, in order that no\nperiod of time shall be exempt from such requirement.\n  (2) In the event that the total sum raised by local taxation,\nexclusive of the sum raised for capital expenditures, for the support of\na central library of a public library system in a twelve month period,\nis less than ninety-five per centum of the average of the amounts raised\nfor such purposes by local taxation for the two preceding twelve month\nperiods, the state aid to which such library system would otherwise be\nentitled for the development of its central library shall be reduced by\ntwenty-five per centum. Upon receipt of annual central library activity\nreports satisfactory to the commissioner, the commissioner shall\ndetermine the amount of any underpayment or overpayments related to\nmaintenance of effort and shall apply such adjustment to the next annual\npayment due such library system. In the first year in which any library\nsystem changes its reporting from the calendar year to a fiscal year\nother than the calendar year, it shall file any additional reporting\nschedules deemed necessary by the commissioner for the purpose of\ndetermining maintenance of effort as required herein, in order that no\nperiod of time shall be exempt from such requirement.\n  (3) The commissioner may waive the requirements of subparagraphs one\nand two of this paragraph, if the commissioner determines that the\napplication of such subparagraphs would result in excessive hardship for\nthe public library system or central library brought about by an\nextraordinary change in a local sponsor's economic condition, loss by a\nlocal sponsor of state aid to local governments provided under section\nfifty-four of the state finance law, or by a natural disaster. The\ncommissioner may grant such waiver for a period of up to three\nconsecutive calendar years. The commissioner shall report any waivers\ngranted under this subparagraph to the speaker of the assembly, the\ntemporary president of the senate, the chairs of the legislative fiscal\ncommittees and the director of the division of the budget.\n  (4) A "local sponsor" shall mean any municipality, district or school\ndistrict, as defined in the general municipal law, or any combination\nthereof.\n  k. In promulgating regulations and approving, rejecting or revoking\nplans of library service pursuant to this section, consideration shall\nbe given to:\n  (1) The prevention of unreasonable discrimination among the persons\nserved by such public library system.\n  (2) The need for rapid expansion of library facilities in areas not\nnow served.\n  (3) The need of each public library system for the professional\nservices of an adequate number of librarians having, in addition to\ngeneral familiarity with literature, special training with respect to\nbook selection and organization for library use.\n  (4) The need for a book stock sufficient in size and varied in kind\nand subject matter.\n  (5) The need for regular fresh additions to book stock.\n  (6) The need for adequate books, materials and facilities for research\nand information as well as for recreational reading.\n  (7) The need for libraries, branches, and other outlets convenient in\nlocation, and with adequate hours of service.\n  (8) The desirability for the integration of existing libraries and new\nlibraries into systems serving a sufficiently large population to\nsupport adequate library service at a reasonable cost.\n  (9) The need for the economic and efficient utilization of public\nfunds.\n  (10) The need for full utilization of local pride, responsibility,\ninitiative and support of library service and the use of state aid in\ntheir stimulation but not as their substitute.\n  (11) The needs of special populations.\n  l.

Furthermore, in a city with a population of one million or more,\nthere shall be at least ten terminals assigned in any county which is\nwholly contained within such city.\n  (3) When determining which libraries are to be assigned computer\nterminals for such purpose, the system shall consider the location and\ncurrent availability of computer terminals with internet access. In the\nevent that within a public library system there are no libraries within\na county that have a computer with internet access, a computer with\ninternet access shall be provided by the department to the assigned\nlibrary within such county. Furthermore, in public library systems with\nfewer than six counties, when determining where additional terminals\nshould be assigned after terminals have been placed in each county\nwithin the system pursuant to subparagraphs one and two of this\nparagraph, such systems shall give priority to libraries that serve\nareas which support and maintain military bases or to libraries that\nserve the largest populations.\n  2.
