<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Maybe I am overthinking this but here is our concern so please weigh in.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If/when you read all the Executive Orders listed in the request for information email, it covers a broad range of areas that you should NOT spend federal funds on going forward. What about books? We purchase
a good bit of our collection development and provide subgrants to libraries for their collection development. There is no way that we can be sure that the purchase of a book could not contain something relating to one of these EO’s. Also, with Hoopla, Overdrive,
or other similar platforms, what if there is a book about one of these topics and a patron checks it out using federal funds? This we cannot control as none of us have the staff to review/read every book – despite what some may think.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
