modifies
provisions
related
to
public
libraries
15
that

eligible

Iowa
program.
The
enrich
Iowa
program,
established
in
the
17
department
of
administrative
services
(DAS),
is
designed
to
18
provide
direct
state

to
eligible
public

19
to
support
the
open
access
and
access
plus
programs,
to
provide
20
eligible
public
libraries
with
an
incentive
to
improve
library
21
services
that
are
in
compliance
with
performance
measures,
22
and
to
reduce
inequities
among
communities
in
the
delivery
of
23
library
services.
Current
law
defines
an
“eligible
public
24
library”
as
a
public
library,
established
by
city
ordinance
25
or
a
library
district,
that
submits
to
DAS
certain
required
26
information
and
documents
and
participates
in
the
library
27
resource
and
information
sharing
programs
established
by
the
28
state
library.
The
bill
modifies
the
definition
of
“eligible
29
public
library”
for
purposes
of
the
enrich
Iowa
program
to
30
provide
that
such
library
must
also
not
be
a
dues-paying
member

a
nonprofit
organization
that
