Ohio’s libraries are facing an unprecedented challenge in the Ohio House of Representatives, and we need your help. Email Richland County Representative Marilyn John and House Speaker Matt Huffman TODAY urging them to restore the Public Library Fund to the amount designated in the Governor’s proposed budget.
Tell the Ohio House: Don’t Cut Ohio Libraries!
- The Ohio House of Representatives’ biennium budget proposal eliminates the Public Library Fund, a mechanism that has funded 251 public library systems for four decades.
- Ohio House Members plan to replace the Public Library Fund with a lump dollar amount for all Ohio libraries, which will result in cuts to libraries across the state.
- The Public Library Fund has remained flat for 25 years and House Members have put forward a dollar amount that does not account for a quarter of a century of inflation.
Contact Richland County Representative Marilyn John at (614) 466-5802 or by email at [email protected].
Contact House Speaker Matt Huffman at (614) 466-6344 or by email at [email protected].
Your name, address and email address are required by many public officials’ systems.
Call or write today and let your representatives know what Ohio libraries mean to you!
