Summary
The bill makes the State Board of Education the sole authority for building, using, supporting, improving and maintaining public library system facilities, except school libraries. It lets the Board let the State Librarian take exclusive control of specific parcels of land for library projects, but only if the legislature provides funding. The Department of Education must work quickly with the State Librarian and the public library system to carry out those projects.
