Do you live in Ohio? Do you love your library? Did you hear that Governor Strickland is going to cut library funding by 50%?
YES.HE.IS.
I realize that the economy in our state is bad and that cuts have to be made in places. But cutting library funding by 50% is in effect closing down Ohio libraries.
THIS IS YOUR PLAN????
Children use the library for school work and for education. People use the library for job searching tools and here in Ohio that is desperately needed as we are a state with one of the highest rates of unemployment and if GM and Ford close more plants we could be a state with THE highest unemployment (perhaps behind Michigan). The Senior Citizens use the library as a gathering place and for entertainment. On fixed incomes they can come there to get books and movies for free (not free really, because they do pay taxes to keep the libraries running).
But cutting library funding by 50% would take that all away. The libraries couldn't function on 50% less.
Why cut a function that is so loved and needed by the people of the state?
You can go here to see what you can do.
You can go here to leave a comment on the Governor's Facebook Page If you Tweet about it, make sure to use the hashtag #saveohiolibraries so we can get it trending.
It's going to take place on June 30th so we only have a few days to make our voices heard.
Listen Strickland, this is not a viable plan! You've done nothing since you've been in office, don't start making decisions now. You're only making huge mistakes.
Hey Gov, remember this photo???
