Do you know who has the key to your County Law Library?

 

bY LAW EVERY COUNTY IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A COUNTY LAW LIBRARY.  IN MANY COUNTIES THE LIMITED SPACE IN THE COURTHOUSE MEANS THAT THIS LIBRARY IS A SMALL LOCKED ROOM THAT IS LIMITED IN ACCESSIBILITY.

 

ONE SOLUTION IS FOR  YOUR CO. LAW LIBRARY TO PURCHASE A LAWREADER SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY.

 

Facts:

 

In 2005 the Legislature vastly increased funding for your County Law Library. In many cases this funding was tripled! The Library is required by law to provide access to their resources for "state and county officials".  Now every county can afford to provide you access to a complete online law library such as is offered only by LawReader.

 

In 2007 the Legislature approved sharing of County Law Library resources with your local Public Library.  (HB 273).  This means that they can purchase a LawReader site license for the Courthouse and for the Public Library (and your judges, prosecutors and County Judge-Executive.)

 

THE PROBLEM:

 

The County Law Library is required to be accessible six days a week (KRS 172.110).  most courthouses are only open five days a week. Usually the library is locked for security reasons, and your access is limited. Books tend to get lost or outdated. (HB 273 now clearly authorizes the use of online legal resources such as offered by LawReader.)

 

With LawReader available online, you will never again look for a book and find someone has checked it out!

 

THE SOLUTION:

 

LawReader provides more Kentucky law than any other online resource / Fifty-state and Federal Court case law data base, KRS fully annotated, Rules annotated, weekly synopsis of all Ky. Appellate decisions within hours of their release, jury instructions, pleading and practice forms, and much, much more.

 

We suggest you ask your County Law Library Trustees to consider purchase of a LawReader site license for your County Law Library, your Public Library, and subscriptions for your Judges, Prosecutors, and County Judge-Executive.

 

Your County Attorney is a member of the Library Trustees.

We also suggest that you ask your County Law Library trustees to install a Wi-Fi set up for your courthouse.  With Wi-Fi the Library installs a modem and router on their computer, and this broadcasts a signal throughout the courthouse.  This allows you to access the internet on your laptop from the courtroom or conference rooms.   The cost of this setup will depend on the size of your courthouse, but will generally cost from $200 to $1000.

 

With Wi-Fi you can access your personal LawReader subscription (or any other service) as well as your e-mail and IM to stay in touch with your office while in the courthouse.

 

With a Wi-Fi system, the internet access already maintained by the County Law Library can be shared throughout the building.

MANY COUNTY LAW LIBRARYS ARE NOT FULFILLING THEIR DUTIES ? Current Law has allowed audit free county law libraries to build large bank accounts instead of providing resources.

[Dec 23rd, 2007]

  -The number one rule of all bureaucratic agencies is to not accumulate large accounts of excess funds, because when they are discovered, the Legislature will seize them and put them where they are needed and appreciated-   By LawReader Senior Editor Stan Billingsley- Dec. 24, 2007   Ky.  law has long mandated the creation of a County Law Library [...]
