Ohio libraries risk losing $22 million under state budget proposal
Too early to know the impact on Coshocton County Library System
COLUMBUS - Ohio public libraries are pressuring lawmakers to keep funding levels steady and reject a plan to tweak a funding formula that delivers nearly half of all the money used to operate 251 library systems across the state, including in Coshocton County.
On the surface, it doesn t seem like much – shaving state funding for the Public Library Fund (PLF) from 1.7% to 1.66% of Ohio s general revenue fund – but it would amount to a $22 million hit over two years, according to the Ohio Library Council. Data on how that $22 million would fall on each library system was not available.
