The Ohio Library Council Government Relations is dedicated to enhancing the role of public libraries as advocates for library services and library patrons. It is our commitment to promote excellence in our association's government relations program, thus increasing the effectiveness of the OLC to better serve its members and their ability to serve their patrons.
To help accomplish this mission, a Government Relations Committee is appointed each year to review and direct the government relations activities of the OLC. The committee evaluates and makes recommendations to the OLC Board on matters involving government entities and their relationship with public libraries. These matters include, but are not limited to: funding, legislation, PERS, workers' compensation, local government funds, and audits. There are numerous opportunities for any and all members to get involved in government relations. Input on new ideas is always needed and welcomed!
