Abstract:
The Skagit County Library Districts dataset consists of digital data describing library districts for all of Skagit County. It is important to note the distinction between a 'Library Service Area' and a 'Library District'. Library districts, also known as 'rural partial-county library districts' are formed during an election by a vote of the people in various unincorporated areas of the county. Often, but not always, a 'library service area' consists of not only the rural partial-county library district, but also the incorporated area in which the library itself is often located. Therefore, a library service area will often consist of both a library district that covers a portion of unincorporated Skagit County in addition to its associated incorporated area (i.e. city/town).
Purpose: The Skagit County Library Districts dataset was created to provide support in service area display, query, and mapping applications within Skagit County.
