>A state agency is forcing the SLO out of its building in downtown
Columbus.
> The Supreme Court of Ohio says it needs more space and apparently has

>The legislature has appropriated money for the Supreme Court's move,
but
>not for the State Library's. Way to go, Ohio.

>Two million items and 100 staff members are affected. That thudding
sound
>you hear is lost books falling through the cracks.

>Because of the nature of the take over, these staff members can't
defend
>their own library. I have begun a letter writing campaign to raise
>awareness and garner support. Any suggestions would be greatly
>appreciated.
