The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library receives most of its funding from local property taxes and the State of Ohio Public Library Fund. It is seeking approval for a 2.2 mill levy that would generate $2.3 million annually for at least 5 years to restore Sunday hours, enhance technology and energy savings, and ensure long-term financial stability. The library serves the Cleveland Heights-University Heights school district, ranks highly nationally for its services, and partners with over 50 local organizations to benefit the community.
KNBTS estimates Kenya’s annual need for blood to be 200,000-250,000 units annually.
Collection is about 160,000 units.
There is a deficit of about 40,000-90,000 units annually.
However WHO recommends 10-20 units of blood per 1000 population.
Kenya population (2009) was 38,610 097* which would put Kenya’s need to a minimum of 380,000 units annually.
Out-of-the-box solutions for re-contextualizing and fixing the funding problem with healthcare are needed. Use of complementary currencies is explored as a way to to do so with some isolation from increasingly fragile debt-based currencies, while improving the quality of care. The context is Canada, but not limited to that.

Effective communication will be critical to promote new offerings and build awareness among key audience segments. The future role and impact of libraries remains uncertain and must be shaped according to the evolving needs of users.

The Future Is Coming! What Does That Mean for Public Libraries?Libraries Thriving
The document summarizes a webinar discussing the future of public libraries. It includes presentations from Mary Weiss of Credo Reference and Renee DiPilato and Lynda Rudd of the Alexandria Library. Weiss discusses how libraries need to be positioned as vital community infrastructure and focus on their transformational role. DiPilato and Rudd discuss how libraries can shape their future by engaging customers, collaborating with partners, communicating their value, and embracing librarians' roles as connectors in a changing environment.
Ontario's public libraries provide essential services to communities across the province. They offer educational programs, job training resources, small business support, broadband internet access, and access to government services for millions of Ontarians each year. However, many library budgets are stretched thin. Increased provincial funding is needed to ensure all Ontario communities can continue benefiting from their local public libraries.
Asset-Based and Collaborative Strategies for Community Economic Developmentsondramilkie
This document summarizes an asset-based economic development conference that discussed strategies like inventors clubs, community funds, and the Rosholt library project. It introduced tools like asset mapping, appreciative inquiry, and data analysis to identify community strengths. Attendees were encouraged to focus on what's working, build from local assets, and use secondary data to spark discussion rather than dictate solutions. Questions were invited about successes, challenges, and other tools communities have used to determine their resources.
This document discusses the importance of public libraries in Ontario. It notes that public libraries receive 200 million visits annually and provide over 250,000 local programs. Public libraries serve as community hubs that provide critical services like job training resources, small business support, broadband internet access, and children's programs. However, provincial funding for libraries has remained stagnant for 20 years, threatening the sustainability of libraries, especially in small and rural communities. The document calls on the government to increase annual provincial funding for public libraries by $17 million to ensure continued access to important library services across Ontario.

Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology.

Editor's Notes
Who runs the Heights Library?
A 7-member Board of Trustees appointed by the CH-UH City School Board. All of our Board members are residents of the CH-UH school district. (A majority of trustees have to live in school district, but a minority may reside outside the school district – ORC 3375.15 School district free public library - appointment of trustees.).
CH_UH Library is an independent governmental entity
The library’s service area is the same as the schools – includes part S. Euclid, all of University Heights, Cleveland Heights.
PLF is public library fund 1.6 % of GRF in 2014
What is PLF? Public Library Fund, changed from LLGSF (Local Govt funding) in 2000 separated from cities.
Also pays for Ohio Public Library Info Network (50 bps) and Library for the Blind.
In 2006 we employed 105 FTEs today we employ 96 FTEs—doing more with less! 10% less staff
Actual spending reflected in this chart, with 2014 anticipated.
Extra revenue is put toward buildings and technology.
Past levies
4 mill current effective rate is 2.54
2000 1.9 mill current effective rate is 1.48
2008 1.9 mill current effective rate is 1.90
CH_UH =whole school district including 5 streets in south euclid
Current effective rate is 5.92, total millage is 7.8 119.218
Equity & Prosperity: Open to All, meet our community where they are. 140 employees in the two cities are tax payers! We are a big employer.
When Lee Road library moved –big effect on Lee Road businesses. Recently: HKIC and partnership with SBDC provides free resources to freelancers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, job seekers (computers, media lab, databases)
Community Dev: Employ teens as pages; offer volunteer opportunities for all; most people deciding where to move view a good library system as a contributor factor; provide resources for recent immigrants (Noble Nepalese); provide meeting space for nonprofits and other groups; a community gathering place
Education and Literacy: Free access to books for all; opportunities for literacy-based play for children at every branch with story times, literacy-based toys and games, and our summer reading programs for all ages and learning opportunities (computer classes, other programs) for all ages
Democary/Government: We are a polling place, a source for unbiased information, a space that welcomes all opinions and provide all people with equal access to information (books, databases, newspapers, high-speed Internet), thereby serving as a great equalizer
44 other libraries in 12 counties
Share collections of over 10 million items and catalog
including databases and larger e-book collection than Los Angeles or NYPL!
CCpl holdings are only 3.2 million
One of largest eBook library collections in the country
More than CCPL – they have “more than 72,000 items” per website 2/5/13
more than NYPL (based on catalog title search 2/5/13 CLEVNET = over 64,000 titles ebk & eaudio – more if inc movie, musi – over 68,000); NYPL = 53,063 ebk & eaudio titles – no data for movies & music)
CLEVNET gives regional benefits that no individual library system can match:
A 2009 Return on Investment study showed a collective cost savings of more than $30 million, which resulted from libraries being able to share cataloging services, administration, computer equipment and professional support, as well as to consolidate circulation. (http://www.clevnet.org/pdf/CLEVNET_ROI_Report_May09.pdf)
Such savings translated into an average $6 return for every dollar invested by CLEVNET libraries.
In a given year, the cumulative value of accessed research and items borrowed or downloaded in the CLEVNET system nears $27 million.
