Northeast Ohio Libraries protesting funding cuts

They predict branch closings and layoffs if Governor's proposed spending plan goes through

As part of his plan to close the state budget gap, Governor Ted Strickland last week proposed cutting state funding for public libraries by 227-million dollars over the next two years. Libraries in Northeast Ohio say that's too much.

Why are Ohio Libraries in trouble? (From the Ohio Library Council)

  • 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.
