This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code by adding new subsections to sections 54-24-03 and 54-24.2-01. The first new subsection mandates the disbursement of surplus library materials to libraries across the state, thereby enhancing resource distribution among public libraries. The second new subsection requires public libraries to complete and submit their annual report as stipulated in section 54-24.2-06 for the previous calendar year, ensuring accountability and transparency in library operations.

The bill aims to improve the management and accessibility of library resources while reinforcing the reporting obligations of public libraries. By facilitating the distribution of surplus materials, the legislation seeks to optimize the use of available resources and support the overall functioning of libraries in North Dakota.
