The bill amends subsection 4 of section 54-24-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines the powers and duties of the state librarian. The amendment focuses on the availability of library materials, specifically stating that the state librarian shall make these materials accessible to libraries across the state, individuals associated with state departments, and citizens of North Dakota.
Notably, the bill removes the requirement that these services be provided only to citizens who do not have adequate library facilities, as well as the stipulation that this must be done under the rules of the state library. This change broadens the scope of access to library materials, allowing for a more inclusive approach to library services in North Dakota.
