COMPACT
(Cite as: 22 V.S.A. § 21)
-
§ 21. Policy and purpose—Article I
Because the desire for the services provided by libraries transcends governmental
boundaries and can most effectively be satisfied by giving such services to communities
and people regardless of jurisdictional lines, it is the policy of the states party
to this compact to cooperate and share their responsibilities; to authorize cooperation
and sharing with respect to those types of library facilities and services that can
be more economically or efficiently developed and maintained on a cooperative basis,
and to authorize cooperation and sharing among localities, states and others in providing
joint or cooperative library services in areas where the distribution of population
or of existing and potential library resources make the provision of library service
on an interstate basis the most effective way of providing adequate and efficient
service. (Added 1963, No. 119, § 2, eff. May 28, 1963.)
