[AKnapp at library.ohio.gov]

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well.  I'm pleased to share the latest edition of the State Library Monthly Report, which highlights recent updates, upcoming programs, and resources to support our patrons and community partners. This month's report includes continued strong usage across several key services, along with news about the State Library's Columbus location and information about recent activities and presentations from the State Library team. You can view the full report here<https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/library.ohio.gov/monthly-reports/May2026MonthlyReport.pdf>.

On Friday, June 5, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies approved their version of the bill which includes funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).  The bill includes $291,800,000 for IMLS. IMLS funds many projects and grants from the State Library. The next step will be consideration by the full House Appropriations Committee, which is scheduled for today, June 9.

Warmly,
[A picture containing text  Description automatically generated]
