ELIGIBILITY FOR STATE AID

1. (a) To be eligible to receive State aid for any year, a local library shall have made a financial effort for the most recently completed calendar or library fiscal year equal to or exceeding $.00025 times market value, or $1 per capita, whichever is less, for the municipalities on behalf of which it applies for State aid.

2. (b) To remain eligible to receive the full amount of State aid for the years following the first year of participation in State aid, the financial effort of the local library shall increase over a period of 5 years to a sum equal to $.0005 times market value, or $2 per capita, whichever is less, for the municipalities on behalf of which it applies for aid. The annual rate of increase shall be at least 20% of the difference between the initial qualifying local financial effort and a financial effort equal to $.0005 times market value, or $2 per capita, whichever is less.
