The current state of funding for Ohio's libraries requires re-examining your library's core principles and "business as usual" practices in the light of a whole new set of questions and challenges. This workshop will help you understand those questions, review the choices you've already had to make, and make informed (and legal) choices for next year's budget. Bring your 2022 budget with you and be prepared to discuss and work on your 2022 budget.

Hard Times/Smart Choices: Budgets and Decisions 2022 will be presented at the State Library of Ohio on June 3, 2022 and video conferenced to sites hosted by CAMLS, MOLO, NOLA, NORWELD, OVAL, SOLO and the Franklin Public Library. The daylong program features Pat Wagner of Pattern Research in Denver, Colorado whose topic is "How do Adjust Your Budget Strategically." Also on hand will be Jon Iten and John Vaughn, OLC legal counsels, and Lynda Murray, OLC Director of Government Relations. They'll answer audience questions to insure that your budget and staffing decisions are legal and sound.
