One of the topics was Senate bill 2192, a measure that amends the State Finance Act to create the Public Library Support Fund. The fund will be used to provide grants to libraries where 30% or more of the residents are at or above the federal poverty level. The legislation would insure that libraries in impoverished areas would continue to stay open to serve the community.

“Libraries are critical to achievement and success. There are studies that show that the more kids read the more success they will have in the future. It is important to continue to foster legislation that encourages libraries and other education centers to stay open and functional.” Jones said.
