“So generally, technology, library improvements, books, it all goes there. And what's important about this fund is it's the only dedicated funding for school libraries in the entire state. Okay. There's no state budget item that just goes to school libraries. It's all just part of regular school aid. So this is specifically just for that program. So without this money, school library college could be cut to zero and there'd be nothing anyone could do about it.” (43:07–43:10)
