BACKGROUND
The Library Board at its November 14, 1989, meeti ng accepted the 1990 Agreement for
Library Services with the Arapahoe Library District and asked that it be forwarded
to City Council for approval.
The Agreement for Library Services with the Arapahoe Library 01 strict is presented
to Council annually . It establishes recipr,:al borrowing services (circulation) for
residents of the two library jurisdictions. It outline s the means for reimbursement
The A~reement also addre,,e s continuation of the Arapahoe Public Acce ss to Librr,ries
(APALJ fund . This jointly-administered fund is used to implement cooperat1v~
projects designed t o serve residents of the four APAL member librari es --Englewood
Public Library, Littleton Public Library, Aurora Public Library, and Arapahoe
Library 01 strict . For examp 1 e, the APAL fund is used to produce the union 11 st of
serials for APAL member libraries.
FINANCl~
The Agreement is transaction -based specifying a payment to the net lender library of
$0.55 per net loan. Effective with the 1986 Agreement, 9.5% of the reciprocal
borrowing service provided via the contract is non-chargeable. This percentage was
calculated to pa r allel the leve l of reciprocal borrowing service provided at no
charge among the three municipal publ 1c 1 ibrar1es in Arapahoe County . Effective
with the 1987 Agreement, net loans provided to students at the Al ice B. Terry School
in Sheridan are reimbursed at $0 .275 per loan.
During the first three quarters of the 1989 Agreement, Dis tr ict residents borrowed
17,988 items from EPL . Of these, 1,041 loans occurred at the Alice B. Terry School
via the Roadrunner Bookmobile . Englewood residents borrowed 1,331 items from
District locations. Of these, 95 loans occurred at the Alice B. Terry School via
the District's school/public library facility.
Englewood Publ 1c L 1 brary continues to be a net 1 ender under the Agreement al though
use of EPL by 01 strict res I dents has declined in recent years. This trend wi 11 most
likely continue over the long term as District facilities and services improve .
Conversely use of District facilities by Englewood residents will likely increase. C
District circulation to Englewood residents increased by 24 % in 1989. Income via
the 1989 Agreement through 3rd Quarter 1989 is $7,901.21.
