[OPLINLIST] LSTA Funds Available: Special grant program for Choose to Read Ohio programs

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Please excuse multiple postings...

 

Choose to Read Ohio is a project of the State Library of Ohio designed
to promote reading across Ohio. We hope to connect children, families,
and all Ohioans in the experience of sharing literature together.

 

The Choose to Read Ohio has one main goal which is to encourage the
reading of books together across Ohio communities. Ohio's citizens of
all ages will choose to read a title together over a six week period
between National Library Week, (April, 2009) and the end of 2010. It is
hoped that they will come together to discuss these books in a variety
of settings - local public libraries, schools, churches, daycares, or
other organizations. Book titles, discussion questions and additional
resources for each book, and promotional items can all be found at
http://oh.webjunction.org/ohctrointro

 

Choose to Read Ohio encourages Ohioans to Read Together, Read Ohio, and
Read for Life. 

 

This special Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant program
will provide funds to libraries to implement a Choose to Read Ohio
program in their community.  The RFP for the Choose to Read Ohio grant
can be found below at:  http://oh.webjunction.org/ohlstactro
