(b) The commission shall adopt rules:
(1) establishing methods for participation by local governments in a matching grant program for facility construction projects; and
(2) providing allocations for a direct grant program for acquisition of books and other collection development materials according to a formula that allocates a base grant to each participating public library plus an amount that is proportional to the size of the population served.
(c) To participate in a grant program under this section, a public library must maintain a level of local public library funding equal to or greater than the average funding for the three years preceding participation. The commission shall adopt rules to implement this requirement.
