Existing branches miss the mark in many casesd because they were built beforwe the demand for public technology and currentpopular media, and there is a need to Kambitsch said. "There is such a differencew between the way in which the library buildinga are being used today and the way in whicu they were meant to be used when most of these were built," he After completing a strategicx plan, published in January, the library has movedf into the development of long-term facilities phase for the The library also has started to feel out communitg support for a future bond issue or levy.
The facilitie project could cost tens of millionssof dollars, though it would dependd on the amount of community support and public funding to be raised, Kambitsch said.

Additional spacw within the libraries would allows for branches to spread out add seating and quietreading space, places for meetingsd and areas for events and computer systems. But the statew of the economy presents a problem forthe library'ds future, creating worry for Kambitsch who saw the 'e levy fail and 's levy narrowly pass in recenyt elections.

Murray said there has been an increasew of Ohio libraries looking for financial supporg on ballots recently because state fundingv has been frozensincew 2001, but the percentage of librarie who win elections has remainef the same at around 75 percent.
