What is a municipal library?

AnswerIt is a library owned and operated by a city.Most municipal libraries are not owned or operated by the actual city in which the exist. Typically, a separate quasi governmental entity is created separate and apart from the city entity. The municipal library usually has its own officers, trustees and directors that are not under the direct authority of the municipality. Most libraries are not totally within the organizational structure of the municipality, meaning they are not just another department of the municipality like a police or fire department. Despite not being part of the municipality as a legal entity, most do receive some funding from the municipality for their operations. Many times such a quasi-governmental entity will have provision for a number of elected officials of the municipality to sit on its boards of directors or trustees ex-officio. In that way there is some connection between the municipality and the municipal library which operates inside it.

What unit of government is incorporated by state?

Municipality, or, an urban unit of local government. A municipality is a political subdivision of a state within which a municipal corporation has been established to provide general local government for a specific population concentration in a defined area. A municipality may be designated as a city, borough, village, or town, except in the New England states, New York, and Wisconsin, where the name town signifies a subdivision of the county or state by area. The municipality is one of several basic types of local government, the others being counties, townships, school districts, and special districts. Municipal corporations are organized under the applicable state constitution and laws, with powers of government expressly or implicitly conferred by that constitution and laws, and also by charter. Within the municipality, these powers are exercised by a governing body elected by the people. A municipality is basically the response of the state government to the need for certain public services (i.e., waste disposal, police and fire protection, water supply, health services) in addition to what is available from the county or other local governments in the area.
