Your Library Needs Your Help
YOUR LIBRARY NEEDS YOUR HELP

This message is a departure from our usual message to you, our valued patrons and supporters. Ohio’s libraries are facing an unheard-of challenge in the Ohio House of Representatives, and we need your help. Use the form below to email all Lorain County members of the General Assembly and House Speaker Huffman TODAY urging them to restore the Public Library Fund. 

How will the House's version of the budget impact Ohioans?

  • The biennium budget proposal eliminates the Public Library Fund, a mechanism that has funded 251 public library systems for four decades.
  • Ohio House Members plan to replace the Public Library Fund with a lump dollar amount for all Ohio libraries, which will result in cuts across the state.

If you want your tax dollars to come back from Columbus and support local libraries across the state, use the form below to send a message to the three Lorain County representatives: Gayle Manning (District 52), Joe Miller (District 53), Kellie Deeter (District 54); and Senator Nathan Manning (District 13), as well as House Speaker Matt Huffman.
