<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of our offices at SBCTC got the following question from legislative staff yesterday and I said I ask you all if you knew of any such rule – we do not.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Do you know of any requirement that if a public higher ed campus, in this case, a community college, has a campus library, that 500sqft must be used for a public library?<o:p></o:p></p>
