Ohio Ready to Read is a joint initiative of the Ohio Library
Council and State Library of Ohio to
reach at-risk families on the importance of early learning.
Our
mission is to disseminate early literacy information to librarians,
library staff, child care providers, early childhood educators,
children's advocates and political decision makers on the six early
literacy skills necessary to prepare children, birth to age 5, to learn
to read.
READY
TO READ
is administered by the State Library of Ohio and the Ohio Library Council
and is made possible, in part by Federal Library Services and Technology
Act Funds, awarded to the State Library of Ohio by the Federal Institute
of Museum and Library Services. The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County,
the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County,
Dayton Metro Library and Columbus Metropolitan Library have provided
additional resources to this project.
PLA/ALSC
Every Child Ready to Read® @ Your Library® is a program of the Public
Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children,
divisions of the American Library Association.
