The COVID-19 pandemic caused state funding for public libraries to decrease for next year. Dayton Metro library's funding will drop more than $1.8 million.

Dayton Metro Library will host a free record sealing legal help clinic from 1 to 5 p.m. March 25 at the main library, 215 E. Third St.

The Kettering Municipal Court, Montgomery Clerk of Courts, Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyer Project, Montgomery County Law Office of the Public Defender, Dayton Municipal Court and Montgomery County Office of Reentry will be at the clinic to answer questions.

“Such clinics at the library can be useful because the court system can be confusing. The library offers a comfortable and familiar space for patrons to get help with pressing questions they have,” Jacqueline Gazda, an information services librarian for Dayton Metro Library, said.

People can choose a time slot and register in advance at picktime.com/DMLLegalClinics.
