§ 31-34. Entitlement of district residents to library services; enforcement; limitation of trustee liability.

(1)

Entitlement of district residents to library services. For so long as the governing board levies an ad valorem tax pursuant to this article for the operation and maintenance of library services and facilities, all residents of the district shall be entitled to use of the general library services and facilities without charge. However, nothing in this subsection prohibits the board of trustees from imposing fines for delinquent library materials or charges for library services and facilities which are specialized and of a type not typically used by the general public. Further, such entitlement shall cease and shall not apply if and when ad valorem revenues are used solely for servicing debt incurred in the acquisition refinancing of capital projects.

(2)

Enforcement. Except as otherwise provided by the trust instrument, the provisions and requirements of any trust for which the board of trustees acts as trustee may be enforced only by the governing board.

(3)

Limitation on trustee liability. Absent personal negligence, no member of the Orange County Library Board of Trustees shall incur any personal liability for the tortious acts or violations of fiduciary duty of any employee of the board of trustees.
