The bill introduced by Representatives Cockley and Abdullahi aims to officially designate the second week of April as "National Library Week" in the state of Ohio. This designation is intended to recognize the importance of libraries and the role they play in communities across the state.
To implement this change, the bill proposes the enactment of a new section, 5.266, in the Revised Code, which will formally establish this recognition. The specific legal language inserted into the current law states that "The second week of April is designated as 'National Library Week.'" This initiative seeks to promote awareness and appreciation for libraries and their contributions to education and public service.
