Linda Johnson mentions proposed legislation that would allow libraries to expand their work on construction and maintenance.
- Libraries can complete projects at about a quarter of the cost and a third of the time compared to current methods.
- The proposal aims to transfer more construction and maintenance capabilities to library staff.
- Libraries are not interested in becoming developers but seek more efficient project management.

Is I think some form of legislation that's being proposed that would allow the libraries to continue to sort of expand the work that we're doing on the construction and maintenance side.

We're not interested in becoming developers for sure, but since we can do the projects at about a quarter of the cost and a third of the time, it does make sense for for that kind of capability to be transferred to our staff.
