Every public library maintained by rates will be entitled to share in the distribution according to its income from rates; and every library maintained by subscriptions and voluntary contributions will be entitled to share according to its income from subscriptions and voluntary contributions: Provided in either case that the income for the year has not been less than £2; and that admission to the library, if within a borough, is open to the public free of charge.

The income of each library may be stated either for the year ending 31st December, 1883, or for the year ending with that day in the year 1883 on which the annual accounts of the library were made up.
