In cities and incorporated towns, a governing body may establish a free public library in connection with the common schools for:

1. (1) the care, protection, and operation of the library;
2. (2) the care of books and other materials; and

3. (3) borrowing and returning books and other materials and penalties for any violations.

   However, in any city or incorporated town where there is established a library open to all the people, a tax may not be levied.
