Governor Strickland plans to cut $2,300,000 from the Dayton Metro Library’s budget in addition to the $4,000,000 that has already been cut in 2009. Another $4.7 million would be cut in 2010. These cuts would effect all of Ohio’s libraries and, if approved, would have devastating results.

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who oppose these cuts and want to keep strong libraries in our state. We urge our leaders to act now to make sure these cuts are not approved.
