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.
