Approved March 20, 1930

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the board
of supervisors of any county shall have the power to appropriate from
the general funds of the county a sum sufficient for the establishment
and maintenance of a county free library for the use and benefit of
the residents of such county; or, upon petition of five per centum of
the qualified voters of the county, may levy a tax for the establishment
and maintenance of such county free library; and, upon request of the
county school board, may divert, in whole or in part, funds appropriated
for school libraries to a county free library which will operate school
libraries as branches of the county free library. All funds of the
county free library, whether derived from taxation or otherwise, shall
constitute a separate fund to be called “the county free library fund,”
and shall not be used for any purposes except those of the county free
library.
