§65-4-201.
Counties, cities and towns are hereby authorized and empowered to join
in creation, development, operation and maintenance of public
libraries to serve rural single county library systems, and to
appropriate and allocate funds for the support of such systems. The
systems shall provide equitable library services to all persons in the
county.
After establishment a rural single county library system must be
accredited by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries Board.
Special levies of any and all taxes authorized to be levied by
counties, cities and towns under Oklahoma Statutes and the Oklahoma
Constitution are hereby authorized to be levied for support of rural
single county library systems.
When any rural single county library system is established, existing
public libraries in the county may be incorporated into the system
under a unified administration by act of local governing bodies or
vote of the people as provided in the procedure for establishment of
the rural single county library systems. Existing public libraries in
the county that are not incorporated into the system shall have the
same relationship to the system as similar public libraries outside
the county have to the local system and to other systems.
