In Tulsa. Oklahoma, between 1996 and 2001, 52 school
libraries were constructed or underwent major
remodeling. The 2005 bond issue included funds for an
additional eight major library building projects. So
far, a total of $34.43 million from 1996, 1999, 2001
and 2005 bond issues has been dedicated to library
resources and the renovation and new construction of
facilities.
