Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Libraries and Museums provide an important social benefit to Saridanian society, providing free-at-the-point-of-use access to books, academic knowledge, computer facilities, children's activities and meeting spaces, as well as preserving our cultural and historical artefacts. Or at least that is what should happen. Unfortunately the quality of these services varies across the nation due to our current policies. Let's create a national network of libraries and museums to ensure that all citizens, from Sint Pietereiland to Boerestaat, have access to these vital public resources. |
