Sec. 7. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), an appointee to a library board must:
(1) reside in the library district during the time the appointee is on the library board; and
(2) have resided in the library district served by the public library for at least the two (2) years immediately preceding the appointee's appointment to the library board.
(b) This subsection does not apply to a public library established by a county. If part or all of one (1) or more townships are contracting for service from a public library under IC 36-12-3-7, the appointing authority, in making an appointment under section 9(4) of this chapter, may name a resident of one (1) township to serve on the library board as the appointment of the appointing authority. However, the township appointee ceases to be a member of the library board if the township in which the appointee resides fails to renew the township's contract for library service.
