Board meetings and strategic plans from Ohio State Library
The Board reviewed several funding requests, including LSTA funds for the Ohio Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, the Libraries Connect Ohio Statewide Core Electronic Databases, and Guiding Ohio Online grants for various public libraries. The State Librarian provided updates on the library's relocation progress, the search for a new library services platform for the SEO Consortium, and the progress of SearchOhio administration. The Board discussed and approved state subsidies for Regional Library Systems and the Ohio Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, made re-appointments to the OPLIN Board, recommended candidates for the State Library Board, discussed a draft Conflict of Interest Policy, and approved updates to the Ohio Administrative Code. A resolution was adopted to honor a retiring Board member, and a tour of the new Chestnut Building location was conducted.
This strategic plan outlines the direction and goals for the State Library of Ohio, aiming to foster a smarter Ohio where residents access resources for engagement and lifelong learning. Its primary strategic pillars include raising awareness of the State Library's services, widening access to information and resources, and streamlining internal processes to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
