From Madison.com/Wisconsin State Journal:
Wisconsin public schools have received $30.1 million from a state trust fund to help purchase materials for their libraries.

A state trust fund set by the constitution uses loan interests generated on public lands to support the cause. Revenue from unclaimed property, penalties and timber production also contribute to the fund.
