Here's to our newest Personal Management Diploma Earner: Cynthia
Always Be A Student
Keep on learning, (graduate's name),
Though your graduation's done;
Your whole life's an education
That has only just begun.
Your diploma is the first big step,
For knowledge is the special key
To winning what you want in life
And being who you want to be.
If you'll always be a student,
You'll find the secrets to success
And travel on the golden road
To peace and happiness.

ACT NOW TO SAVE OUR LIBRARIES
URGENT
Governor Strickland proposes to fill Ohio's $3.2 billion shortfall in the
state budget by eliminating $200+ million from the Public Library Fund over
the next two years. His proposal will have a drastic impact on all 251 public
libraries in Ohio and on Columbus Metropolitan Library in particular.
This proposal by the Governor cuts library funding by 50% beginning July 1,
2009.
We only have days to have an impact.
1. Today, contact your legislators. We've made it easy to do. Go to:
http://columbuslibrary.org.
2. Call Governor Strickland's office at 614-466-3555.
The Governor's proposed funding cuts come at a time when Ohio's public
libraries are experiencing unprecedented increases in demands for services. In
every community throughout the state, Ohioans are turning to their public
library for free job help, children and teens are beginning summer reading
programs and people of all ages are turning to the library for information and
assistance during this economic downturn. That is no truer than here at CML.
We cannot allow these cuts to succeed, cuts which will drastically reduce
services and access. Act now.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Governor Strickland has recommended the elimination of $200+ million from the Public Library Fund over the next two years.
WHAT IT MEANS: This proposal by the Governor cuts CML's state funding by 50%. These proposed 11+ million dollar cuts will be devastating: closing branches, halting new books and materials, and shutting down programs and services that are so vital to our community!
