The bill amends subsection 4 of section 54-24-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the powers and duties of the state librarian. The amendment focuses on the availability of library materials, specifically removing the requirement that materials be made available only to citizens who do not have adequate library facilities.

As a result of this change, the state librarian will now be empowered to make library materials accessible to libraries across the state, as well as to individuals associated with state departments and all citizens of North Dakota, without the previous limitation regarding library facilities. This broadens the scope of access to library resources for all residents, enhancing the state's commitment to providing information and educational materials.
