					 authorization by the jurisdictional governing body for that library's participation.
					 The authorization must be in the form and manner and be filed by the date specified
					 by the State Board.
(b) Public Library
					 Certification. Upon the authorization by the jurisdictional governing body, the head
					 librarian of each public library wishing to participate in the programs of the Act
					 must file a certification of compliance with provisions of the Act. This
					 certification shall remain in effect until the library jurisdiction no longer
					 complies with the stated provisions. The certification shall specifically include
					 compliance with Education Code sections
					 18703(c)

					 If the library or jurisdiction is no longer in compliance, the head librarian shall
					 notify the Board no later than thirty days following such a change in compliance
					 status.
(c) Participation by Libraries
					 other than Public Libraries. The head librarian of such library eligible to
					 participate in any of the programs of the Act and wishing to do so must file with
					 the State Board a notice of its intent to participate and of its agreement to the
					 provisions of the Act and administrative regulations as they apply to the library's
					 participation. This notice shall be filed in such form and manner as specified by
					 the State Board by September 1 of the fiscal year preceding active participation.
					 The agreement shall remain in effect until rescinded by the State Board or the
					 library.

					 Library Services Board believes that it is in the best interests of the citizens of
