ยง 254. Standards of library service. The regents shall have power to
fix standards of library service for every free association, public and
hospital library or, with the advice of the appropriate tribal
government and library board of trustees, Indian library which receives
any portion of the moneys appropriated by the state to aid such
libraries, or which is supported in whole or in part by tax levied by
any municipality or district. In the case of a hospital library or a
