00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.651
Minnesota has a has a robust
support from the Minnesota State

2
00:00:08.651 --> 00:00:12.688
legislature as far as statewide
support, but it does go for

3
00:00:12.688 --> 00:00:13.160
basics.

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.412
Keeping the lights on, paying
staff salaries, making sure that

5
00:00:17.412 --> 00:00:21.732
libraries around the state have
resource sharing opportunities,

6
00:00:21.732 --> 00:00:22.880
things like that.

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:27.799
The character of the federal
funds that we get are for often

00:00:27.799 --> 00:00:32.800
for so wonderfully shiny things
that libraries are known for.

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:35.800
We really appreciate those
federal dollars.

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:42.363
They do a lot and go a long way
to upholding the principles of

11
00:00:42.363 --> 00:00:45.280
libraries and librarianship.

12
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.946
They allow librarians and
libraries and communities to

13
00:00:48.946 --> 00:00:52.641
dream, and to go a step further,
they really often move the

14
00:00:52.641 --> 00:00:54.920
needle for communities in
Minnesota.
