Cash Transfers from the PLF to State Agencies and Programs

Even though the PLF is now a line-item appropriation, the monthly distributions to the county level will slightly change each month. As a reminder, HB 96 included additional cash transfers from the PLF for the State Library of Ohio, OPLIN, Library for the Blind, the Ohioana Library Association and the Regional Library Systems. These deductions and transfers from the PLF are made prior to the PLF distributions to public libraries.
