This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the General Fund to support the Main Library Alliance, a non-profit organization that enhances library services across over 50 library buildings in northwestern New Jersey. The funding will be allocated as grants-in-aid specifically for the Main Library Alliance, which serves more than 700,000 patrons across 100 municipalities in Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Union, and Warren counties.
The bill amends the annual appropriations act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, by adding this specific funding under the Division of State Library's budget. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
