THANK YOU!
Thank you for being such great advocates for Ohio’s public libraries! Your calls and emails to your state representatives have had a positive impact – nearly all members of the General Assembly have issued statements of support. Now, we must support them as they continue to struggle with crafting a balanced state budget in this difficult economy. We will keep you updated as we learn more about the next state budget and funding for libraries.
