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 State Library of Ohio began discussing the possibility of a statewide reading project with Ohioana in June, 2008. The Ohioana Book Festival held in May, 2008, provided a wonderful venue for meeting Ohio’s authors which inspired the Choose to Read Ohio program. We envisioned a statewide program that would promote reading and sharing quality literature across the Buckeye state.

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.

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