Closing libraries will mean denying internet access and information sources like books, magazines and newspapers to those residents who can not afford them otherwise. By cutting library funding the state of Ohio is committing an act of aggression against its poor by denying them the educational materials all citizens have a right to.

My daughter is 7 and she loves the library. I love to read and I am currently laid off and appreciate getting books for free to read./ I also know people who use the library because they need to do research and don/t have access to a computer. I am sure if the auto co. etc. can get bailouts for their mistakes and greed we deserve to be able yo have access to the PUBLIC library. Thank you, Judy Stafford

When I was really young I enjoyed the different programs offered n the weekends and the Pizza Oven pizza they had was awesome. Many good librarians around too: Mr. Sony on 25th street and Miss Brenton downtown just to name a couple.

A library of wisdom, then, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it.

Making cuts here to try and balance the budget by July 1 2009 will come back to haunt the state of Ohio by causing higher unemployment rates. Also, libraries don't just provide books, they offer so much more, classes that teach computer skills, children's programs etc... Not a smart idea to make severe cuts to a primary source of education for Ohioan's. Get your money elsewhere Strickland!
