News on Library Funding

There seems to finally be some news on the State Budget front.
Today's Plain Dealer quotes State Senator Dale Miller as saying, "I think that libraries and mental health programs will do considerably better than the governor's framework." The paper also states that sources familiar with the deal said that two-thirds of the $227 million cut proposed for public libraries will be restored.

This is encouraging. While there will still be a significant cut, it is certainly more manageable than the first framework mentioned by the Governor. Thank you to all our patrons for supporting us by calling the Governor and our legislators. We know that we can always count on your support!
