The New Mexico State University Library, in collaboration with other supporting partners, is launching a campaign bringing awareness to the benefits of supporting Bond B this upcoming election in New Mexico. In-person early voting begins Oct. 18 and the general election is Nov. 4.
The 2014 General Obligation (G.O.) Bond B will allocate a projected $438,000 for NMSU’s Las Cruces campus to support the updating of materials such as book and journal collections. Other NMSU Library system locations will benefit from Bond B passage as well. The following amounts are projected:
• Dona Ana Community College would receive $97,395
• NMSU Alamogordo would receive $27,943
• NMSU Carlsbad would receive $16,650
• NMSU Grants would receive $9,831
Allocations are based on the number of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled full time at each location. If approved, the 2014 G.O. Bond B will enable academic libraries to meet research needs of faculty, students and staff.
“The G.O. Bond B is an opportunity for voters to support their local publicly funded libraries,” Dean of the Library Elizabeth Titus said.
