The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the availability of
Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds for Choose to Read Ohio
proposals. Under the LSTA program, any type of library may apply for
funds for a project supporting the 2011-2012 CTRO titles.

 

Choose to Read Ohio, a project of the State Library, was initiated in
2009 and has one main goal: to encourage the reading of books together
across Ohio communities.  CTRO is a framework to spotlight Ohio authors
and promote reading across the state. The State Library, in partnership
with Ohioana Library, developed this initiative to encourage Ohioans of
all ages to share literature by authors native to, residing in, or
associated with Ohio.  Choose to Read Ohio encourages Ohioans to Read
Together, Read Ohio, and Read for Life. 

 

A maximum of $10,000 in federal funds may be requested.  A cash match of
25% of the total project amount is required.  Approved proposals will
run from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012. 

 

Proposals should be submitted electronically to Missy Lodge at 
mlodge at library.ohio.gov and are due at the State Library by midnight
September 30, 2011.

 

The Request for Proposal can be found at:
