I think in Ohio, it's all about community outreach.
Certainly, we've learned a lot of lessons during the height of
the pandemic and ongoing pandemic, and it seems like the
library services have turned outward and they want that from
the state library as well.
So certainly the flexibility that we had with CARES and ARPA
have kind of dictated that.
But even before that, Ohio's libraries have found ways to
utilize LSTA funds for all sorts of outreach.
A very rural county in Ohio was able to actually acquire an
outreach vehicle with ARPA funds through one of our sub grant
programs and it does not have any branches.
It's a one library for an entire rural county system.
It has a large Amish population.
So a population that's a little more resistant obviously to
using some of the technology and this library system now has a
way to really go out and reach that community in particular,
but all communities in their counties in a way that they
didn't before.
