P.R. Laws tit. 21, § 4463
The municipality may assign the permanent total or partial use as needed, of any facility it owns, to any nonprofit entity which is not involved in partisan politics, for the establishing of public libraries. The municipality may likewise, and for the same purposes, request and accept gifts of money and equipment or join said associations in public campaigns to encourage the habit of reading and the general and assiduous use of municipal library facilities.
The municipality may also contribute financially to the establishing and operation of the libraries of said nonprofit entities, furnishing them with electric power and water services, supplies of books and subscriptions to magazines or any other similar publications.
The necessary requirements for the granting of a permanent use permit of the municipal facility in question by said associations, and the basic rules addressed to ensure the proper operation of the libraries once they have been established, shall be established by ordinance. Every assignment shall be automatically revoked when the legal existence of the nonprofit entity is ended or when the public end for which the assignment was granted is lost.
