s 20316. Establishment of Regional Library Networks.

(a) The state board shall use the following criteria to approve the
boundaries of the regional library networks, considering both
cost-effectiveness and relationship to the resource sharing purposes of
this chapter: public library jurisdictional boundaries; commonality with
boundaries of educational institutions; recognition of current
transportation, marketing, and communication patterns; location of and
access to library resources; adequacy of resources for resource sharing
purposes; population; and geographical contiguity.

(b) Every geographic area of the state shall be served by a regional
library network.

(c) Upon receipt of a plan for a regional library network as set forth in
Education Code Section 18840, the state board shall review the plan for
completeness and for compliance with the purposes and provisions of the
Act.

(d) The state board shall conclude its plan review within one hundred and
twenty days from the submission of a plan and approve it or disapprove it.
If a regional library network's plan is disapproved, the state board shall
note the reason(s) for its disapproval and may make recommendations as to
modifications which would make the plan approvable. A modified plan may be
re-submitted for state board consideration.

(e) Upon state board approval, a regional library network shall be
established for the purposes of this Act and its organization and members
shall be recognized as eligible to receive services and funds under the
provisions of this Act. The establishment and recognition of the regional
library network shall be considered effective on the first July 1
following state board approval. The state board may approve an earlier
effective date if it determines that such action would best serve the
purposes of the Act.
