§ 252. Other libraries owned by the state. The report of the state
library to the legislature shall include a statement of the total number
of volumes or pamphlets, the number added during the year, with a
summary of operations and conditions, and any needed recommendation for
safety or usefulness for each of the other libraries owned by the state,
the custodian of which shall furnish such information or facilities for
inspection as the regents may require for making this report. Each of
these libraries shall be under the sole control now provided by law, but
for the annual report of the total number of books owned by or bought
each year by the state, it shall be considered as a branch of the state
library and shall be entitled to any facilities for exchange of
duplicates, inter-library loans or other privileges properly accorded to
a branch.
