§ 18022 Public Library Funding Calculation

Key Takeaways

  • •The money a public library gets depends on how many people live in the area.
  • •The amount per person is decided by another rule (Section 18020).
  • •The total money for the library is: money per person × number of people.

Example

A small town has 1,000 people, and the rule says each person gets $5 for the library.

The town’s library will get $5,000 total ($5 × 1,000 people).
