Dear Library Supporters,

Ohio public libraries need your help! Ohio’s public libraries are facing the proposed elimination of the Public Library Fund and a resulting funding loss of over $100 million dollars. Ohio’s public libraries already operate on funding like we had in 2000, with no adjustment for inflation.

How will this impact the library?
