What is MORE?

Ohio public and school libraries can bring their patrons MORE - an acronym that represents Moving Ohio Resources Everywhere. Ohio Libraries Share: MORE is a statewide resource sharing network that brings library patrons more resources, more books, more music and more videos. Imagine having access to 50 million items in Ohio's public and school libraries for your students and teachers. A few keystrokes and the desire material will be delivered to your library via the statewide delivery network. That's the power of OLS: MORE.

Visit the Ohio Libraries Share: MORE Web site for additional information.
