| Message | The URP opposes most government funding, however not in this case. We would likely approve contracting with private companies to run libraries. Another thought would be - this would eliminate any oversight of local libraries which may decide to ban books. (It's likely this could occur in certain religious Republics, maybe some RP here). |
