This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the General Fund to support the Main Library Alliance, a non-profit organization that serves over 50 library buildings in northwestern New Jersey. The funding will be allocated as grants-in-aid to enhance the services, programs, and technology framework provided by the Alliance, which benefits more than 700,000 patrons across over 100 municipalities in Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Union, and Warren counties.

The bill specifies that the appropriation will be added to the existing annual appropriations act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, as outlined in P.L.2024, c.22. The new legal language includes the designation of the $500,000 as "GRANTS-IN-AID" under the Division of State Library, specifically earmarked for the Main Library Alliance. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
