Members of the 132nd Ohio General Assembly were officially sworn in on Tuesday, Jan. 3 and it is essential that public libraries learn about the new legislators and the new leadership at the Statehouse. There are 22 newly-elected House members and seven new members in the Senate. Also, we have several veteran legislators returning to Capitol Square in Columbus.
In addition, Gov. Kasich will be introducing his two-year biennial state budget proposal at the end of January. This will be an extremely important time as the OLC and its member libraries continue their advocacy efforts to protect state funding for public libraries through the Public Library Fund (PLF).
To prepare library directors, fiscal officers and trustees to work with the members of the new General Assembly, the OLC will be hosting a free webinar on Jan. 26 at 1:00 p.m. Michelle Francis, OLC Director of Government and Legal Services, will cover in detail effective advocacy tools and techniques for developing relationships with legislators as well as the latest information from the Statehouse.
