county school board, or the clerk of the city school board for the pur-
pose of establishing a school library connected with said school, the
board in counties and the school board in cities shall appropriate the
sum of fifteen dollars for this purpose, and the State Board of Edu-
cation, out of any funds provided for public school libraries, shall
appropriate thirty dollars, thus making a minimum of sixty dollars
for a unit library. The said library, or libraries, shall be purchased
and properly cared for under the rules and regulations adopted by the
State Board of Education. The treasurer shall not receive any com-
mission for receiving and disbursing funds for school libraries.
