The foundation for the MOU is a framework that deems the Library to be the “managing partner” and the County to be the “investment partner.” In these respective roles in this virtual partnership, the Library and County hold and perform rights, responsibilities and activities that are necessary to provide Library services and that are involved in the support and operation of the Library.

The MOU is created and approved by the Library CEO and County Manager to illustrate and demonstrate the respectful and supportive relationship that is desired and required between the two organizations to achieve the public service vision and mission of each organization.
