ARTICLE 1A. INTERSTATE LIBRARY COMPACT.
WVC 10-1A-1
§10-1A-1. Enactment of compact.
The "Interstate Library Compact" is hereby enacted into law and entered into by this state with all states legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows:
(b) Within an interstate library district, and as provided by a library agreement, the performance of library functions may be undertaken on a joint or cooperative basis or may be undertaken by means of one or more arrangements between or among public or private library agencies for the extension of library privileges or the use of facilities or services operated or rendered by one or more of the individual library agencies.
(1) Undertake, administer and participate in programs or arrangements for securing, lending or servicing of books and other publications, any other materials suitable to be kept or made available by libraries, library equipment or for the dissemination of information about libraries, the value and significance of particular items therein and the use thereof;
(2) Accept for any of its purposes under this compact any and all donations and grants of money, equipment, supplies, materials and services (conditional or otherwise), from any state or the United States or any subdivision or agency thereof, or interstate agency or from any institution, person, firm or corporation, and receive, utilize and dispose of the same;
(4) Employ professional, technical, clerical and other personnel, and fix terms of employment, compensation and other appropriate benefits; and where desirable, provide for the in- service training of such personnel;
(6) Acquire, hold and dispose of any real or personal property or any interest or interests therein as may be appropriate to the rendering of library service;
(7) Construct, maintain and operate a library, including any appropriate branches thereof;
Any two or more state library agencies of two or more of the party states may undertake and conduct joint or cooperative library programs, render joint or cooperative library services, and enter into and perform arrangements for the cooperative or joint acquisition, use, housing and disposition of items or collections of materials which, by reason of expense, rarity, specialized nature or infrequency of demand therefor would be appropriate for central collection and shared use. Any such programs, services or arrangements may include provision for the exercise on a cooperative or joint basis of any power exercisable by an interstate library district and an agreement embodying any such program, service or arrangement shall contain provisions covering the subjects detailed in Article VI of this compact for interstate library agreements.
(1) Detail the specific nature of the services, programs, facilities, arrangements or properties to which it is applicable;
(3) Specify the respective rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties;
(a) Every library agreement made pursuant to this compact shall, prior to and as a condition precedent to its entry into force, be submitted to the attorney general of each state in which a public library agency party thereto is situated, who shall determine whether the agreement is in proper form and compatible with the laws of his state. The attorneys general shall approve any agreement submitted to them unless they shall find that it does not meet the conditions set forth herein and shall detail in writing addressed to the governing bodies of the public library agencies concerned the specific respects in which the proposed agreement fails to meet the requirements of law. Failure to disapprove an agreement submitted hereunder within ninety days of its submission shall constitute approval thereof.
(b) In the event that a library agreement made pursuant to this compact shall deal in whole or in part with the provision of services or facilities with regard to which an officer or agency of the state government has constitutional or statutory powers of control, the agreement shall, as a condition precedent to its entry into force, be submitted to the state officer or agency having such power of control and shall be approved or disapproved by him or it as to all matters within his or its jurisdiction in the same manner and subject to the same requirements governing the action of the attorneys general pursuant to subsection (a) of this article. This requirement of submission and approval shall be an addition to and not in substitution for the requirement of submission to and approval by the attorneys general.
WVC 10-1A-2
§10-1A-2. Restrictions relating to outlay of public funds.
No county, municipality or other political subdivision of this state shall be party to a library agreement which provides for the construction or maintenance of a library pursuant to Article III, subsection (c), subdivision (7) of the compact, nor pledge its credit in support of such a library or contribute to the capital financing thereof, except after compliance with any laws applicable to such counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions of this state relating to or governing capital outlays and the pledging of credit.
WVC 10-1A-3
§10-1A-3. State library agency defined.
As used in the compact, "state library agency," with reference to this state, means the West Virginia library commission as designated in section twelve, article one of this chapter.
WVC 10-1A-4
§10-1A-4. Interstate library districts; state and federal aid.
An interstate library district lying partly within this state may claim and be entitled to receive state aid in support of any of its functions to the same extent and in the same manner as such functions are eligible for support when carried on by entities wholly within this state. For the purposes of computing and apportioning state aid to an interstate library district, this state will consider that portion of the area which lies within this state as an independent entity for the performance of the aided function or functions and compute and apportion the aid accordingly. Subject to any applicable laws of this state, such a district also may apply for and be entitled to receive any federal aid for which it may be eligible.

§10-1A-6. Withdrawal.
In the event of withdrawal from the compact, the governor shall send and receive any notices required by Article XI, subsection (b) of the compact.
