More than 200 representatives from Ohio’s public libraries will travel to Columbus for the Ohio Library Council’s (OLC) Legislative Day on April 13. Library directors, fiscal officers, trustees, and supporters will meet with state legislators to share how their libraries are transforming local communities with essential services such as workforce development and early literacy programs.

At 11 a.m. at the Statehouse, the OLC will release a report on the return on investment (ROI) of Ohio’s public libraries and the economic benefit they provide to Ohioans. A mobile technology lab will also be at the Statehouse to showcase how libraries are offering technology training to their communities. Download the OLC Media Advisory for more information.
