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- Limiting new materials and replacing outdated materials less often.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

📚💙 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.
