Support for Libraries Support continued funding for public library construction, specifically an additional $1 million in state aid and $1 million for library construction in each year of the biennium; support legislation to provide relief from the Department of Cultural Resources requirement that libraries must receive a local appropriation of no less than the previous year to maintain their eligibility for state financial assistance, possibly through adoption of a system of funding through block grants; and support legislation to decriminalize failure to return library books so as to bring about a more realistic system for penalizing those who fail to do so. 2.
