(a) "Connecticard" means a cooperative program among public libraries in Connecticut which allows a resident of any town in the state who holds a valid borrower
card issued by his home library to use that card to borrow materials from any public
library in the state that is participating in the program;
(b) "Connecticard transaction" means each lending of a recognized unit of library
material by a participating library to a person who is a resident of any Connecticut town
except the town in which the library is located or any towns for which the library has
been designated the principal public library and who has presented a valid Connecticard
borrower card at the library making the loan;
(c) "Net plus transaction" means the library services, based on the number of items
loaned, rendered to nonresidents of towns normally served by libraries offering state-wide services in excess of the library service rendered to residents of such towns by
other libraries;
(d) "Participating library" means a library which has signed a letter of agreement
on file with the State Library;
(e) "Resident" means that a person is principally domiciled in a town. A borrower
who holds dual residency or who owns property in more than one town is considered a
resident only in the town where he is principally domiciled. In all other towns, that
borrower shall be a nonresident.
