§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.
