Cuts in State funding put local library further in the red

Passage of Ohio’s new budget means fewer dollars funneled to local libraries. The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County will get 2-million dollars less this year, and Executive Director Kim Fender says this is in addition to previous budget problems. She says to get by this year, the library will cancel a maintenance project. With that all branches will be able to remain open at regular staffing levels. Fender says if the one-mill levy doesn’t pass this fall, 2010 is the year that really becomes questionable. She says without it there will be a 16-million dollar deficit next year, meaning some libraries will close, and staff will be cut.
