An easier way to contact your legislators about library funding

We need your help to Save Ohio Libraries!

On Friday, Governor Strickland proposed a 30% cut in library funding, which, coupled with the 20% reduction in revenue that libraries are already experiencing, amounts to a 50% cut in funding for libraries! Public libraries will close or will drastically cut hours and services.

The legislature must decide whether to include this proposal in the budget that they will vote on within the next few days. Please contact your state representatives and senators and urge them not to let this proposal be part of the state's budget!

On behalf of the entire Greene County Public Library family, thank you so much for your help and support.
