,. cHARLF'S A. CANNON MEMORIAL LIBRARY ~EMORANDU~ Date: November 12, 1985 To: Charles McGinnis, County Manager, Cabarrus County From: Tom Dillard, Director Subject: Reciprocal borrowing agreement with Rowan County. The attached item is a propOsed resolution for the establishment for reciprocal borrowing privileges between the Charles A. Cannon Memorial Library includin9 the new Charles A. Cannon Memorial Library - Kannapolis Branch, and the Rowan Public Library System. Under the terms of this agreement, the library patrons of each county would be able to check out library materials from the libraries of either county without paying an annual non-resident user fee. Currently both the Concord and Kannapolis Cannon Libraries charge an annual non,resident fee of ten dollars and Rowan Public Library charges a monthly non=resident fee not to exceed twelve dollars annually. For the Cannon Memorial Libraries, this agreement would not affect non-resident user fee requirements with any other of our neighboring counties. Those fees will continue to be charged. The primary reason for this proposal is to enable the 8,400 residents of Kannapolis who live in Rowan County to have free access to the new Kannapolis Branch and all of the materials in that library. It should be a mutually beneficial agreement in that Cabarrus residents will have free access to library services in Rowan County, especially those who live close to the Landis Branch or who work in Salisbury Since the City of Concord and Cabarrus County currently operate their libraries under the cooperative agreement of September, 1984, I am requesting that approval of this reciprocal borrowing agreement be granted by both the Board of Aldermen of the City of Concord and the Cabarrus County Commissioners upon the recommendation of the Cabarrus County Library Trustees.
