• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 36: LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• Art. 12: LIBRARIES
• Ch. 2: Class 1 Public Libraries: Organization and Board

Text

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), an
appointee to a library board must:
(1) reside in the library district during the time the appointee is on
the library board; and
(2) have resided in the library district served by the public library
for at least the two (2) years immediately preceding the
appointee's appointment to the library board.
(b) This subsection does not apply to a public library established by
a county. If part or all of one (1) or more townships are contracting for
service from a public library under IC 36-12-3-7, the appointing
authority, in making an appointment under section 9(4) of this chapter,
may name a resident of one (1) township to serve on the library board
as the appointment of the appointing authority. However, the township
appointee ceases to be a member of the library board if the township in
which the appointee resides fails to renew the township's contract for
library service.
