Education (Libraries)

HB 1256 removes a law that allowed New Hampshire's state librarian to award scholarships to students enrolled in graduate library programs accredited by the American Library Association. The bill repeals RSA 201-A:10, VII, ending the state librarian's authority to fund these scholarships. This change directly affects students seeking advanced degrees in library science at accredited institutions. The policy shift eliminates an existing state-funded support mechanism for library school students without creating new programs or requirements.
