Ohio’s claim to the list of the best states for librarians is its affordable cost of living rates. Living expenses in Ohio are so cheap, you can enjoy your wages more without having to worry if you’ll have some of it left for savings. This is probably why even when Ohio pays their librarians less than the average salary, many librarians still choose to get a job here. This state also has libraries that keep improving, as proven by the State Library of Ohio on their feature about the New Books for January 2017.
