215 East Broadway Street Alliance, OH 44601 www.rodmanlibrary.com RPL Home My Account/Renew Good Reads ... Search the Catalog Save Ohio Libraries - Update The Ohio General Assembly's conference committee on the 2010-2011 state budget today accepted a proposal to cut Ohio's Public Library Fund (PLF) $84.3 million over the next two years. The cut is substantially less than the approximate $227.3 million cut proposed by Gov. Ted Strickland on June 19 but will still have a significant impact on the services provided by Ohio's public libraries. Ohio's public libraries have the citizens of Ohio to thank for exerting extraordinary influence on their elected representatives in the Ohio General Assembly to minimize the cuts to library funding. We believe the overwhelming groundswell of public support convinced the legislature to reject the Governor's massive cuts, and attempt to preserve library funding as much as possible during this challenging financial situation. The budget cuts, combined with the precipitous drop in the PLF in the first six months of this year as a result of declining state tax revenues, will result in library funding dropping as much as 25-30% in 2009 as compared to calendar year 2008. The decreased funding comes at a time when Ohio's public libraries are experiencing an unprecedented increase in the demand for services. In July 2009, public libraries received 22% less funding than they received in July 2008. It is expected that based just on the formula, public libraries will likely receive close to 20% less money in 2009 than they did in 2008. Although Ohio's economy is faltering along with that of rest of the country, public libraries believed that they could withstand those reductions through layoffs, reduced material purchases, and reduction in operating hours. An additional cut of 11% will be difficult to manage by some libraries.

OLC Response to Governor's Letter PDF Projected Funding Cuts for Each Library PDF or Excel Spreadsheet Join Save Ohio Libraries on Facebook! Why are Ohio public libraries in trouble? At a news conference on Friday, June 19, the Governor proposed a cut to state funding for public libraries of $227.3 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 as part of his plan to fill the $3.2 billion gap in the budget that must be balanced by the Ohio General Assembly's Conference Committee by June 30. The proposal amounts to a 30% cut in funding for Ohio's public libraries. This cut is in addition to the 20% reduction in funding that libraries are already facing, because their funding comes from 2.22% of the state's declining General Revenue Fund. Libraries could close or face significant reductions in operations as a result of the Governor's proposal. With some 70% of the state's 251 public libraries relying solely on state funding to fund their operations, the reduction in funding will mean that many will close branches or drastically reduce hours and services.

Ohio Libraries Face Crisis After Governor Reveals State Budget Cuts | Cleveland Facing a projected $3.2 billion revenue shortfall in the next two years, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland called a press conference Friday to outline his plan to balance the budget. http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/10409

USER LOG-IN / REGISTRATION Home Local Entertainment ... Auto Ohio Libraries Face Crisis After Governor Reveals State Budget Cuts By Julie Kent . Published on 06/22/2009 - 7:00pm Facing a projected $3.2 billion revenue shortfall in the next two years, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland called a press conference Friday to outline his plan to balance the budget. One of the highlights of the press conference was the governor's vow to support expanded gambling within the state, something he had long been against. Hidden away within the proposal, however, was an outline calling for a 50 percent reduction in state funding to Ohio's libraries. Home to some of the nation's best libraries, Cuyahoga County libraries would also be dealt a devastating blow and would be forced into making service and staff cutbacks unlike they've ever seen. Ohio's libraries are funded through 2.2% of the state's total general tax revenue which goes to the Public Library Fund. These funds are distributed to libraries throughout the state. For 70% of the state's libraries the PLF is their only source of funding, and for the rest it still makes up a large portion of funding. As the economic conditions in Ohio have continued to worsen, the tax revenues collected by the state have decreased, already resulting in reduced funding to the state's libraries. Cutting an already diminishing supply of funds in half would have such a drastic effect on Ohio libraries that many may be forced to cut essential services, while others may have to seriously consider closing altogether.
