Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Connecticard:
A cooperative program among public libraries in Connecticut which allows a resident of any town in the state who holds a valid borrower card issued by his home library to use that card to borrow materials from any public library in the state that is participating in the program.
(b)
Resident:
For purposes of the Connecticard program, a person is a resident of a town if that person is principally domiciled in that town. A borrower who holds dual residency or who owns property in more than one town is considered a resident only in the town in which he is principally domiciled. In all other towns, that borrower is considered a non-resident.
(c)
Home library:
The public library in the town where a borrower is a resident is that borrower's home library. If the town where a borrower resides does not have a public library, the library that has been designated as the principal public library for that town is the home library.
(d)
Participating library:
A library is considered to be a Connecticard participating library when it has signed a Letter of Agreement and placed it on file with the State Library.
(e)
Connecticard borrower card:
The borrower card issued by the home library is the Connecticard borrower card. It is the only card that may be used to borrow through the Connecticard program.
(f)
Connecticard transaction:
Each lending of a unit of library material by a participating library to a person who is a resident of any Connecticut town, except the town in which that library is located and except any town for which that library has been designated the principal public library and who has presented a valid Connecticard borrower card at the library making the loan, may be reported by the lending library as a Connecticard transaction.
(g)
Unit of library material:
For Connecticard purposes, any item, whether print or non-print that a library normally stores, retrieves, and lends as a discrete entity, may be considered a unit of library material.
(h)
Net plus transaction:
Net plus transaction means the library services, based on the number of items loaned, rendered to non-residents of the town or towns normally served by such library in excess of the library service rendered to residents of such town by other libraries.
(i)
General library purposes:
Means all functions of a public library including the purchase of land or the construction, alteration or remodeling of buildings.

(b) Such reports will be on a form designated by the State Library Board and will conform to the instructions on that form.
(c) When determining "units of library materials" for reporting Connecticard transactions, libraries shall use the following guidelines:
(1) For multi-volume book sets, count each volume loaned as one transaction.
(2) For unbound periodicals, count each single issue loaned as one transaction; but when two or more issues are bound into one volume, count the entire volume as one transaction.
(3) For non-print items boxed or packaged together, count the entire box or package as one transaction.

Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 11 - Libraries › 31c - Procedures to Govern the Administration of the Connecticard Program › Section 11-31c-4 - Method of payment for libraries participating in the Connecticard program

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Payment will be made to participating libraries once during each state fiscal year provided they have met the requirements set forth in Section 11-31c-2(a) through (e).
(b) Payment for Connecticard transactions shall be made as follows: one-half of the total funds appropriated for the Connecticard program shall be used to reimburse participating libraries for all reported Connecticard transactions. The amount to be received by each participating library shall be determined by dividing one-half of the Connecticard appropriation by the total number of transactions reported by participating libraries during the preceding twelve (12) month period and then multiplying that figure by the number of transactions reported by the library during that period.
(c) Payment for Connecticard net plus transactions shall be made as follows: one-half of the total funds appropriated for the Connecticard program shall be used to provide additional reimbursement to participating libraries for net plus transactions as defined in Section 11-31c-1(h). The net plus transactions for each library shall be determined by the State Library after comparing the number of items loaned by the library to Connecticut non-residents of the towns in excess of the library service rendered by public libraries in other Connecticut towns to residents of that town who have a borrower card issued by the library. The amount to be received by each participating library shall be determined by dividing one-half of the Connecticard appropriation by the total number of net plus transactions for the preceding twelve (12) month period then multiplying that figure by the number of net plus loans made by the library during that period.
(d) The grant may be used for general library purposes and no portion of the grant shall revert to the general fund of the town or towns normally served by such library.
