Library survey bill could boost Logan Library funding
Logan County librarian Miss Evalan Fischer says the Library Survey Commission Bill could raise Logan Library income to about 10 000 dollars, enabling a book wagon, more books, and potential county branch libraries. Under current rules the Logan Library is a school district library. the bill would shift governance to the entire county and increase per capita funding toward 50 cents. The plan aims to aid small county libraries, with two bills to the Ohio legislature expected in January.
