Declares an additional purpose of the Library Services and Construction Act to strengthen major urban resource libraries. Defines "major urban resource library" as any public library located in a standard metropolitan statistical area with a population of 100,000 or more individuals. Directs the Commissioner of Education to make grants to States which have approved programs for the strengthening of major urban resource libraries. Extends the limitations placed on State grants to permit use of such grants for: (1) the support and expansion of library services of major urban resource libraries; (2) the support and expansion of library services of any public library of a State in which no major urban resource library exists. Requires a State to expend a specific percentage of the Federal funds it receives under such Act to support and expand the library services of the major urban resource libraries within such State, or in a State without such libraries, to support and expand the services of the public libraries of such State.
