, ,Of. the Liqrary arranged for Wren-PratherStroud to create abrof)ze' statute signifyingthe event. "The Reader"~i~ a classic pieceand is somewh;3t timeless, As the sculpture'represented the,library's crossingfrom one' .,centurY. to th_~ next, so_this work of artmoves easily from one millennium to the

· Then we waited. HB 15 was referred to theSenate Public Affairs Committee, which wasgiving preference tohearing Senate bills: 'The slow-pace of the session was a '

·concern, as 'we didnot'want to lose our bill,in theJinaLcrush of business. With someprompting by our sponsor', the bill was finallyscheduled for. a Sunday hearing on March

· 7th. Three·members'.of the committee ,wereconducting hearings informally: I wascalled

. to testify even though o'ursponsor was not'yet-in the room; he arrived'as I was giving' '

· testimony: When the ~ommittee got a .quorum,theyconcurred with their'::subcommittee's" do~pass recommendation.The Senate passed House Bill·15 on .Wednesday"March 10th, by a vote of32-0.

February 8th, Representative Ray Begaye,of Shiprock raised the que$tion of whether,'tribal governments could participate in jointpoiN~rs agreements. Ben/Wakashige and r,desqribed programs designed to Support the'establishment of library services in Native

,'American comm.L!nities, and said'that we·" believed that tribes could be participants in

,cooperative agreements. This preclude'd a·. possible amendment which ,could have

'",' delayed passage of the bill. The Education. . ,Committee gave HB 15a do-pass", recommendation. On. February 11th, while

NMLA was conducting its.Legislative Day, 'the House passed HB 15.,by a 62-0 margin.

• - . . • " I'"

In order to inform Governor Johnson about'. -,the bill,.Ben Wakashige' and' I had a

conference call with State LibraryCommission Chair M9ude Rathgerber: Wereviewed the legislation and asked her ,tocommunicate with the: Governor. NMLA

, President Ellanie Sampson wrote a letteriothe Governor expressing the Association's,support., Governor Johnson signed HB 15 on

.. Friday, March ·12th. New Mexico now. has a· public library statute which reflects cwrent

. practic~s in municipalities and counties. It'. has a'public policy in sUPPQrt ofmUlti-type, .

-' ' ~ multijurisdictional library cooperative .arrangements: HB 15 was a simple and

, 'non-controversial ~Itechnical" pie~e'of ,-, legislatron, but its passage exemplifies the

detailed work that goes into creation arid'promotion of any pieGe of legislation. .. ,

[cont'd from page 1]

Once/we had th,e basic'principles of the, , legisfation established, we publicized the '"

concept in an article in ~he.NMLA ' "New;;letter. We also wor,ked with !3iHFuiginiti .'and the staff at the New Mexico MunicipalLeague. We were :concernedthat our '

, 'legislation would appear to be circumventing"the,clearly expresse,d decision of, the •

" R~solutions Committee. We pointeCl out that'we were doing exactlywhat had been 'suggested to us about joint powers " ,agre~rnents. Research was done orHhe 'legislative history of the public library ,statute, to determine wh~ri and why the ,,provision allowing counties to operate public'libraries had been dropped. Our-proposal

, 'was 'thoroughly reviewed with ~elly Orrick at, the"New Mexico'AssoCii3tion of Counties;'and with~MargaretSeipel of the Lordsburg-' 'Hidalgo Pl:Jblic Library, the only- library- in thestate, operated by a County gmi~rnment..ln-

- ,late November, Representativ/3 Jose Abeyta'of Wagon Mound was contacted arid a$ked ,to sponsor our legislation. Jose,had'been-

~ an active supporter of the 1994 'Connections 'and, ColI~ctions iegislation, anqhis ruralNortheastern New Mexico district was the'type'of ~rea which could particularly benefitfrom cooperative library arrangements. Hesent our draft bill to·the Legislat,ive Council

, Senator Stuart !ngle of Porfajes'to carry the.bill in the Senate:-' '. . , .

Gne advantage,of 6uriJreliminary work was,that the bill w~s introduced· on the second
