(a) Every library board of directors shall elect a
chairman and other officers as necessary and shall prescribe
rules and regulations for the establishment, organization,
operation and use of the county library and library system. The
board shall enforce such rules and regulations in any court of
competent jurisdiction. As soon as the board is organized they
shall file with the county clerk and with the secretary of state
a certificate showing their organization, for which no filing
fee or charge shall be paid.
(b) Upon filing of the certificate the board of directors
is a body corporate, with power to sue and be sued under the
name on file with the secretary of state.
(c) No member of the board of directors is personally
liable for any action or procedure of the board. The corporation
has perpetual existence and it is not necessary to file any
other or further certificate than that filed upon the original
organization of the board of directors. Every library
established and maintained under the provisions of W.S. 18-7-101
through 18-7-106 is free to all residents of the county on the
condition that such persons comply with rules and regulations of
the library as prescribed by the board of directors. Holders of
library cards are responsible for all library materials borrowed
on such cards. Whenever library materials are lost, destroyed or
taken from the library and not returned the library board may
institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the materials or the value thereof. The library board
may establish and maintain branch libraries, stations and other
library services and facilities.
(d) Two (2) or more county library boards may contract to
establish a federation of the libraries under their jurisdiction
for the purpose of providing cooperative library services.
Contracts shall be written, signed by the members of the
contracting library boards and are binding upon the contracting
library boards and their successors. The participating libraries
may reserve the right to terminate the contracts by mutual
agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice given to each
contracting library board.
