You Made an Impact!

April 11, 2025

Thank you to everyone who contacted their Ohio House members last week—your calls, emails, and stories make a real impact! 

While the House did make some adjustments, unfortunately, the Public Library Fund (PLF) in Sub. House Bill 96 is still $90.8 million less than the Governor’s recommended funding for public libraries over the biennium.  

We remain committed to advocating for the restoration of the Public Library Fund (PLF) to 1.75% of the General Revenue Fund, as proposed in Governor DeWine’s budget. 

The state budget is now in the hands of the Senate, with the process expected to be completed by the end of June.  

We’ll keep you informed as things progress—and we may reach out for your support again during the Senate’s budget process. 

Thank you for being a strong voice for your library and for libraries throughout Ohio!
