How Things Are Done in Ohio

If you’ve ever spent any time on the Erie County Executive’s Facebook re-election page (and you have my sympathy because life is short, and you will never get that time back), you’ll know that he is constantly holding up Ohio as a shining example of how things “should” be done in Erie County.

One of KOLP’s members (and this is why I love this group–so much input on library issues) recently shared that the Mentor, OH Public Library has plans to enhance its main branch. Here is the link to those plans: Future of MPL’s Main Branch – FAQ. A few key takeaways from these enhancements: there is no space being leased to outside, tax-exempt, religious organizations, there is a plan to improve traffic flow, and the enhancements are based on the strategic plan which was created with public input: Mentor Public Library Strategic Plan. Can anyone say, “Irony?”
