Jacquelyn K. O'Brien appointed New State Library Board Member

The State Board of Education appointed Jacquelyn K. O'Brien to the State
Library Board at its December meeting.  Ms. O'Brien will be sworn in to a
five year term at the State Library Board Retreat now scheduled for February
3, 2005.  Ms. O'Brien is filling the seat vacated by Carl J. Stich, Jr. of
Cincinnati, who leaves the Board after serving two five-year terms.  

"We are pleased to have Jackie join the Board," said State Librarian Jo
Budler.  "She will bring a special expertise to the board as we continue to
provide outreach to state government and the legislature.  We also look
forward to having her share her insights into the budgetary process."

A former State Representative from Cincinnati, Ms. O'Brien brings
considerable public service experience to the position.  She served eight
terms in the Ohio House of Representatives and served on a variety of
committees including the Local Government and Townships committee and the
Finance and Appropriations Committee.  She was also instrumental in forming
the first Anderson Township Library Committee in Hamilton County over 24
years ago and has remained involved with the group, currently serving as its
President.

"I am looking forward to serving on the Board and learning more about Ohio
libraries," noted Ms. O'Brien.

Ms. O'Brien has been inducted into the National Senior Citizens Hall of
Fame, was named Anderson Township Citizen of the Year in 2001 and has
received numerous awards including the Council of PTA Services to Children
award and the Ohio AMVETS Legislative Award.

The State Library Board is responsible for the State Library of Ohio and a
statewide program of development and coordination of library services.  The
Board administers a grant program to distribute the Federal Library Services
and Technology Act funds appropriated for the state; designates depository
libraries for both the federal and state documents depository programs; and
determines public library boundaries.
