Burlington Public Library
Contracting with other Governmental Entities

The Board of Trustees of the Burlington Public Library, in accordance with Chapter 21, section 6 of the City Code, may contract with other governmental entities to provide library services. Residents of these entities will receive full library services for as long as the contract is maintained.

Governmental entities that contract for Burlington Public Library services for their citizens shall be charged based on a uniform formula each year. A per capita fee (or per assessed valuation fee for communities under 1000 in population) will be set at the beginning of the agreement and an annual per capita increase will be defined. The fee will be divided between the two Des Moines County Public Libraries based on the percentage of total circulation to each entity in the preceding fiscal year.
