At least half of the annual local operating expenditures required to meet the minimum level of per capita support for accreditation must be from local government sources. A public library that expends at least $10 per capita is exempt from this membership criterion if it shows evidence of some library expenditures from local government sources and is open to citizens under identical conditions without charge. Local government sources are defined as money appropriated by library taxing districts, by school districts, or by city or county governments from their general revenue moneys.
