Presenter: Jay Smith, Director of Government and Legal Services, Ohio Library Council

The governor’s state budget proposal for FY 22-23 (HB 110) is currently being debated at the Statehouse and it proposes cuts in state funding for Ohio’s public libraries. Now is the time for your voice to be heard! It’s important to get the message out on the vital role we play and to put a local face on the impact Ohio’s public libraries have.

Please join us for an update on the state budget process and plans for Ohio Library Week, April 5-9.  Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 Legislative Day will be presented in a different format from previous years. OLC will transition to online programming and grassroots efforts by hosting a virtual Ohio Library Week (which will coincide with National Library Week). This webinar will help you prepare for this important advocacy event.

If you are unable to participate in the live presentation, the webinar will be recorded and posted on the OLC website.
