Two or more library districts that have at least one common boundary may consolidate by a petition of the library district boards to the county commissioners of the affected counties.
This is accomplished by carrying out the following tasks:
- First, a legal description and draftsmanlike map of the area covered by the consolidated district needs to be created.
- Second, the boards of the consolidating districts need to meet and approve the consolidation.
- Third, the boards of the existing districts need to petition the county commissioners in the affected counties.
- Fourth, the county commissioners must hold a hearing on the petition for consolidation.
- Fifth, the county commissioners in all counties affected must approve the new name and boundaries of the consolidated district.
