library service. Local tax sources shall include all

this section, and a uniform percentage determined for
each fiscal year as follows: The sum of the minimum
program for current AND CAPITAL expenditures to be shared
for all the counties shall be multiplied by 0.60. The
product shall then be divided by the sum of the wealth of
all the counties; and the resulting quotient, expressed
as a percentage rounded to the third decimal place, shall
be the uniform percentage.
(2) The State share of the minimum program for
current expenditures for each county shall be the
difference between the county share calculated pursuant
to subsection (e) (1) of this section and the minimum

authorize the payment to the county board of library
trustees of any county in which a board of trustees is
