The main source of state funding for Ohio’s public libraries was eliminated in the House draft of the state operating budget for the next two years. Analysis by the Ohio Library Council shows state funding would drop by more than $100 million compared to the governor’s proposal.

Calling can seem daunting, but it literally only takes a minute. My call to the Chairman was 32 seconds today, and I'll be calling tomorrow. Speaker Huffman keeps going right to voicemail.

But we do have enough money to give a $600 million handout to a sports team owned by billionaires. Call the Speaker and House Finance chair and tell them Ohioans deserve better than this!

This isn't getting the news coverage it should! #Ohio has some of the best library systems in the country. Libraries are not a luxury. They're a necessity.

📚💙 Ohio is trying to cut the Public Library Fund. Libraries aren't luxuries. They're lifelines. Free books, internet, job help, after-school programs, and safe spaces for EVERYONE.

Call your reps & say: NO CUTS. PROTECT OUR LIBRARIES.

In times of need, I believe that we all need to give of the talents we have. Mine is condensing lots of information so others can use it.

Text reads: Save Ohio Libraries. What is happening? The Ohio House of Representatives’ budget proposal eliminates the Public Library Fund (PLF). If PLF is cut, libraries will lose about $100 million over the next 2 years. What does that mean for Libraries? Libraries could lose 25% or more in funding. This will mean: - Cuts to programming - like job skills training classes - Ending community supports like library social workers, free tutoring services, lending non-traditional items, and more. - Limiting new materials and replacing outdated materials less often. - In some cases, limiting library hours or closing branches entirely Text reads: Save Ohio Libraries What can I do?

Ohio’s proposed budget could slash 29% from the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library by dismantling the Public Library Fund.

📢 Urge lawmakers to restore stable funding and protect vital library services.
