Nevada Revised Statutes Title 33. Libraries; Museums; Historic Preservation § 379.065. Provision of library services of county library district in contiguous territory served by another library district or library: Request; joint study; determination by board of county commissioners; alteration of boundaries

1. If the trustees of a county library district desire to provide library services in territory which is contiguous to its boundaries but is within the boundaries of another county library district, a consolidated library district or a county, city or town which has a library, the trustees of the county library district may submit a request to the trustees of such a library or library district to provide library services within that territory.

2. If the trustees of a library or library district that receives a request pursuant to subsection 1 desire that the library or library district receive such library services, the trustees shall conduct a joint study with the county library district to determine whether the county library district has the financial capability to provide the library services. If the results of the study demonstrate that the county library district has such financial capability, the county library district may alter its boundaries to include the territory.

3. If:

the county library district may submit the matter to the board of county commissioners of the county for its determination. The board of county commissioners may request such information from the county library district and library or library district as necessary to make its determination. If the board of county commissioners determines it is in the best interest of the residents of the territory to receive library services from the county library district, the board of county commissioners shall by resolution authorize the county library district to alter its boundaries to include the territory. In making such a determination, the board of county commissioners may solicit public comment from residents who are affected by the proposed alteration of the boundaries of the county library district through polling, public hearings, submission of an advisory question at an election or any other form of public comment.

4. The provisions of this section do not apply to alter the boundaries of any library or library district for the purposes of taxes levied for the repayment, when due, of the principal of and interest on bonds, notes or other indebtedness issued before the effective date of the alteration.
