Upon this article becoming effective, as provided hereinafter, the board of county commissioners may, from time to time by resolution, transfer and convey all right, title and interest in such real and personal property owned or held by said board for library purposes to the district to be used to establish, maintain and operate the free public library service provided for in this act.
