Tell the Ohio House:
Don't Cut Ohio Libraries!

Ohio's libraries are facing an unprecedented challenge in the Ohio House of Representatives, and we need your help! 

​

Please contact our representative Angela King and House Speaker Matt Huffman today urging them to restore the Public Library Fund to the amount designated by the Governor's proposed budget.

​

Please also share with them why our library is important to you! Thank you!

Angela King, (614) 466-9624, rep84@ohiohouse.gov

Speaker Matt Huffman, (614) 466-6344, rep78@ohiohouse.gov

How will the House's version of the budget impact Ohio?

• 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.

• Libraries stand to lose millions from this proposal!
