Despite the construction making navigation around the Capitol complex a bit tricky, the beautiful spring weather and productive office visits made the 2016 Minnesota Library Legislative a success. Every year library supporters from across the state go to Library Day at the Capitol, sponsored by the Minnesota Library Association (MLA) and Information and Technology Educators of Minnesota (ITEM). Library concerns this year are a $10 million bonding request for library construction funds and initiatives to support border-to-border broadband access.
