I just got this reply e-mail from Marianne Reynolds at the library. If you have contacted these people already...do it again. They need all the support they can get. Lori Thank you for your support. Someone I know just got the axe today and the rest of us are nervously waiting to see if we have a job. Here is a further list of contacts. At this point, any letter writing, calling or emails to the Ohio Legislature should be directed at those in the highest offices of the House and Senate. Attached you will find the lists of the leaders of the Ohio Legislature. As per the suggestion of an aide in Representative Steve Driehaus's office, we should concentrate our letter writing, email and calling efforts to the people on this list. The list includes the Chair of the Finance and Appropriations Committee also. Although time is of the essence, it was also suggested that we continue the campaign of emails, letters and calls until the end of May when the House and Senate will vote on the final budget bill.

I would very much like for you to send me a copy of the obit for Barbara Deible, she died about September 28,1872. The only information I have for Julian George Deible death is he was buried August 5,1872. If you can check for a notice with this information, and send me a copy, that would be wonderful and if not I do understand. I have contacted Gov.Taft as well as many other politicians asking them to support the much needed library system in our state. Thank you again, Lora Chaffin
