| Message | Did you mean to fund libraries via local governments? There is an option to only get books from private dealers... |

| Message | The party was torn on that issue. We opted for local funding on the grounds that the general climate of the legislature is one of funding education, and a compromise position of local funding is at least preferable to national, though the ideal would be for private entities to provide pay-to-use libraries if demand is sufficient. |
