the Fort Worth Public Library In planning for that system and its successors, provision was made to
give Fort Worth the ability to offer automated services to libraries in the North Texas Library System,
other City departments, businesses, and other libraries in the area on acost-sharing basis.
Haltom City was the first area library to take advantage of sharing the Fort Worth system with an
interlocal agreement approved by the City Council on January 14, 1986 Keller joined the system in
1992 under a separate interlocal agreement. Under these agreements, the Fort Worth Public Library
provides automated library services for these libraries on acost-sharing basis where each computer
workstation is equal to one "share" in the system Haltom City and Keller are renewing their existing
interlocal agreements
The cities of Richland Hills and Watauga desire to purchase automated library services from Fort Worth
at this time Under the agreements, Richland Hills will pay $34,400 to purchase eight shares, software
and services. Watauga will pay $50,100 for twelve shares. Under these agreements, all the client
libraries may purchase additional shares at $3,000 per share They also pay for all equipment installed
in their libraries.

year The first year's maintenance charges for the client libraries under this interlocal agreement are
Haltom City for $9,240, and Keller for $9,940
