Poll Finds Wide Backing for Ohio Public Libraries

New research shows Ohioans continue to value local library services and support local funding that keeps them strong, according to the Ohio Library Council (OLC).

"New statewide research shows overwhelming bipartisan support for Ohio's public libraries and township governments, with voters saying these services are essential to everyday life."

The report continues, "Libraries support children and families through early literacy programs, tutoring and after-school spaces. They strengthen the workforce by helping residents search for jobs, build skills and access career training. They bridge the digital divide with free Wi-Fi, computers and technology assistance. And they deliver everyday services such as printing, notary work and access to government resources."
