It shall be competent to—

a local government that establishes, maintains and conducts a library facility; and

a local government that has entered into an agreement with another local government for the joint use or benefit of a library facility;

to appoint a library committee consisting of persons who are members of the local government, and such other persons as it thinks fit.

A library committee so appointed shall maintain and conduct the library facility subject to the local government that appoints it and shall discharge such functions, exercise such powers and perform such duties on behalf of the local government as the local government (which is hereby authorised so to do) by resolution directs they should.
