The 2019 & 2020 Choose to Read Ohio program cycle officially kicks off this month with the release of readers' toolkits for the 2019 & 2020 CTRO booklist<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/choose-read-ohio-books-2019-2020/>, which features 20 notable titles for all ages and reading levels. The 2019 & 2020 CTRO booklist<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/choose-read-ohio-books-2019-2020/> features 20 notable titles for all ages and reading levels. As with each CTRO program cycle, the booklist includes five books each for young children, middle grades, teens, and adults, and encompasses fiction and nonfiction and a variety of geographic and cultural interests. Ohio librarians, teachers, and other book experts help to select the biennial CTRO booklist. They consider quality and reader appeal, but also how well each book lends itself to group discussion and to related programming in school, library, or community settings.

To support and encourage book discussion groups, library programs, and other activities to bring readers together around books, the CTRO Advisory Council creates a readers' toolkit for each CTRO book. Toolkits for all 95 books previously selected to CTRO since its inception in 2009<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ctro/list-choose-read-ohio-books-2009-present/#BooksforTweensandMiddleGrades> are available for free download on the CTRO website<https://library.ohio.gov/ctro/>. Toolkits for the 2019 & 2020 books are being added as they are completed. Toolkits for the following books are now available:
