Greetings,
I do apologize for not introducing myself earlier.  I am the new Branch Manager for the
North Olmsted Branch of Cuyahoga County Public Library.  I started in April and have
been getting out and meeting the community.  I am a resident of North Olmsted and
hope that we can meet soon.

However, I am writing today because I need your help.  Our library system as well as
many others across the state of Ohio are trying to get the word out about Govenor
Strickland's proposed cuts in state funding for Ohio's public libraries

The Govenor is asking for a 50% reduction in funding, which will decimate library service
 including programs, services, and staffing at the North Olmsted Branch.  We are asking all
community members to please contact their state legislators and tell them how much
the library means to the community and families.
 
If possible, can you please send this link to your church members and friends to help save Ohio libraries?
If you have any questions or would like to speak with me regarding this issue or any other issue, please feel free to contact me any time.
 
Thank you again for your help.
