Ohio’s public libraries like @ToledoLibrary do a LOT more than check out books.
The real ROI? People who gain skills, find jobs, access technology, launch businesses & strengthen their communities. That’s the impact of Ohio’s public libraries every day! toledoblade.com/local/city/2…

“Your return on investment isn’t just about how we circulate books,” said Jason Kucsma, executive director of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. “It’s about how the library helps people work, learn, connect, and participate in our community and our economy.”

This past week we had the cutest visitor stop by the library as she is training to be a service dog. We think Lucy just wanted to stop by for some dog-gone good books!

It’s 9/25—Happy Dolly Day! 🦋📚💗

It's @DollyParton in Ohio 🦋
Dolly meant so much to so many people, but to many children, she was known as the Book Lady. Her extraordinary generosity and belief in the power of books has brought the joy of reading into the homes of over 1 million children in Ohio @dollyslibrary
Honored to join Governor Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine to celebrate @ImaginationOhio! Ohio’s public libraries have proudly supported this program from the start, sharing its mission to put books in the hands of Ohio’s youngest readers. 📚❤️

Books will take you places! Even if it's back to the Library for more 😉 We love when families grab piles of books to enjoy at home!
What can the public library do for you? A lot. 📚
