Dublin's Trinity College is giving its biggest library a renaming after determining its ties to slave-owning philosopher George Berkeley are inconsistent with its values.

Voting concluded Saturday in the general and special elections held in Young County, with the passing of a $22 million bond measure from Newcastle ISD and the failing of a $49.4 million bond measure from Graham ISD. Election day was held Saturday, May 6, with voting available at five locations throughout the county. Early voting was held from Monday, April 24 through Tuesday, May 2 at two county locations.

Trinity College Dublin is set to "dename" the Berkeley Library, named after George Berkeley, an Irish-born slave owner. The Irish said a separate process will be initiated to determine the library's new name.
