A measure that would extend the funding of the Public School Library Resources Fund was introduced today. Senator Eddie Calvo (R) explains that a portion of the monies from the Tax Collection Enhancement Fund would be appropriated for library resources and equipment.

"This is a way of showing the Legislature's prioritization in education and ensuring that our libraries and schools are properly funded," said Senator Calvo. Co-authors of Bill 130 are fellow Republican senators Larry Kasperbauer and Bob Klitzkie.
