Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Lede A brief introductory section that is intended to entice the reader to read the full entry. A variety of programs have been offered by the State Library over the past two hundred years. Read on to find out more! Story The primary full-text for the entry. It could be said that the State Library began its programming for the citizens of Ohio with the <a href="http://bicentennial.library.ohio.gov/items/show/7">Traveling Library</a> in 1896. This program continued until 1973 and may be considered the longest running program of the State Library. Other than the Traveling Library, few programs were developed until the mid-fifties when the Library Services Act (LSC) was passed. These additional funds were used by the State Library to develop programs as well as provide grant funds to public libraries to develop programs at the local level. <a href="http://bicentennial.library.ohio.gov/items/show/99">Bookmobile</a> service was one of the first programs that both the State Library and local libraries established. By the mid- sixties, 67 libraries in Ohio were operating bookmobile programs. The oldest program still in existence is the children’s program. There has been a children’s consultant on the State Library’s staff consistently since the mid-1960s. The consultant works with local library staff to develop collections and programs for children and young adults as well as advising on grant applications for federal funds to support new and innovative programs. One of the largest children’s program has been the Children’s Summer Reading Program. While larger metropolitan libraries were able to afford to carry out their own programs, the smaller and rural public libraries were not, and so the State Library began a coordinated effort to provide a theme, materials and publicity packets to those libraries. Artists were commissioned to develop a series of work around the annual theme to be used with the programs. The State Library received the John Cotton Dana award in 1988 for its program around Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are.” The summer reading program continues to facilitate free incentives for public libraries to share with their summer reading participants, such as Ohio State Fair coupons for readers 5-14 years of age and certificates for camping in Ohio State Parks from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In 1964 the State Library Board continued supporting library services with funds from the new <a href="http://bicentennial.library.ohio.gov/items/show/232">federal program</a> for libraries, the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA). This added the “C” for construction to the previous Library Services Act (LSA). The federal funds became a large part of the services and programs of the State Library. Grants for both library programs and construction were made available. A statewide LSCA funded project, BOOKS/JOBS became operative July 1, 1967. Over $370,000 was used to help Ohio public libraries reach and serve people who needed information skills to get and keep jobs. Libraries traditionally become very busy during difficult economic times. The State Library has supported other programs helping with job skills and training over the years. Recently, State Library staff worked with <a href="https://guidingohioonline.org/">Guiding Ohio Online</a> project coordinators to arrange an <a href="https://jobseeker.ohiomeansjobs.monster.com/">OhioMeansJobs</a> webinar presented by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services for public libraries. Programs were also developed in cooperation with other agencies to address the needs of Ohio citizens. In 1972 the Right to Read program was established with a national goal to ensure that ninety percent of all Americans would be able to read to the best of their abilities by 1980. Another program with the Ohio Department of Education resulted in an Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial grant for a year-long Bicentennial reading program. The “Spirit of ’76 Caravan” brought together more than 800 school and public children’s librarians for twelve day-long workshops to plan Bicentennial cooperative reading programs. By centering these on Ohio’s twelve Right to Read areas public libraries, school libraries, and multicounty cooperatives were able to coordinate with the ongoing reading improvement aims of the State Department of Education. A program sponsored through the <a href="http://www.ala.org/">American Library Association</a> (ALA) and the <a href="https://www.neh.gov/">National Endowment for the Humanities</a> (NEH) brought humanities scholars to libraries to lead book discussions, and Ohio received one of the first year grants. Five books based around a single theme were read over a ten week period, with reading groups meeting with the humanities scholar for a discussion. Sixteen libraries participated in the first year. The themes developed by ALA included “Family”, “ Love”, “Children’s Literature,” and states were encouraged to develop their own themes. Ohio created “Love,” and it was so successful that ALA included it in its packet for the following years. The program lasted for several years and libraries continued to host the program with their own book choices, paying the scholars through their own budget. A public awareness program for libraries, ”Libraries: Learning for Life” held a rally at the State Capitol to raise public awareness of Ohio’s libraries in 1985. Busloads and carloads of supporters of local libraries came to Columbus, and fourteen sponsoring organizations were involved. The program was nationally recognized and received the John Cotton Dana Award from ALA for developing and implementing Ohio’s first statewide multimedia public relations campaign, and was so successful, the campaign was carried out for a second year. The State Library has been Ohio’s distributor of <a href="https://library.ohio.gov/using-the-library/services-for-the-blind/">talking books</a> since 1981. This program provides library services to Ohioans who are unable to read normal printed material as a result of physical limitations. In 2009 transitioning began to replace the analog machines with digital book players. Together with the <a href="https://cpl.org/aboutthelibrary/ohio-library-for-the-blind-physically-disabled/">Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled,</a> Cleveland; the State Library serves approximately 14,000 citizens. When LSCA became LSTA (<a href="https://www.imls.gov/grants/grants-states">Library Services and Technology Act</a>) in 1998 it not only changed its focus to technology, it also changed to permit all types of libraries to receive grants. It stressed the partnerships and collaborative efforts among different types of libraries. <a href="http://www.ohiomemory.org/">Ohio Memory</a> is a collaborative project of the Ohio History Connection and the State Library. The project was established in 2003 by the Ohio History Connection as a state bicentennial project to build a searchable database of digital images celebrating Ohio’s history and provide access to the state’s historical treasures; in 2010, it was relaunched as a partner project between the two organizations. More than 300,000 items from over 360 cultural collections have been brought together in the Ohio Memory database. <a href="https://www.ohreadytoread.org/">Ohio Ready to Read</a> is another joint adventure for the State Library but this time with the <a href="http://olc.org/">Ohio Library Council</a>. The program educated Ohio’s families on the importance of early childhood literacy through resources and activities at Ohio’s public libraries. Ohio Read to Read supports library-based activities that contribute to the reading readiness of 0-5 year olds and to the developing reading proficiency of K-3rd graders. The ORTR website offers early literary resources to help establish community partnerships, reach out to families and caregivers and learn about early childhood development. <a href="https://www.cslpreads.org/">The Collaborative Summer Library Program</a> (CSLP) develops themes for teens and adults as well as children. Resources provided to public libraries include custom theme artwork, and a manual of programming ideas. <a href="https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ctro/">Choose to Read Ohio</a> (CTRO) partners, the State Library, <a href="http://www.ohioana.org/">Ohioana</a>, and the <a href="https://ohiocenterforthebook.org/">Ohio Center for the Book</a>, encourages Ohioans of all ages to choose to read a book by an Ohio author. The reading took place over a six-week period. Resources and materials were provided for readers who came together. Book lists of twenty titles are selected for two calendar years. Reading groups are held in classrooms, libraries, bookstores, community groups and families. Sponsor The name of a person or organization that has sponsored the research for this specific entry.

On November 2, 1920, KDKA Radio in Pittsburg launched the first radio broadcast in the country, announcing the returns of the Harding-Cox presidential election (which you can listen to <a href="http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2012/03/08/kdkas-historic-broadcast/">here</a>). Soon after, radio purchases exploded; from 1923-1930, approximately 60% of American families purchased radios. Radio broadcasting exploded in this decade, as well, and by the end of the decade programs included westerns, soap operas and other dramas, comedies, broadcasting for children, as well as news reporting. Radios, and radio broadcasting, ushered in a new era where “<a href="http://www.mortaljourney.com/2011/04/1920-trends/radio-history">a custom where families gathered around a glowing box for night-time entertainment took root, forever changing American culture</a> In 1924, Sears, Roebuck and Company of Chicago funded the Little Red Schoolhouse of the Air, with Benjamin “Uncle Ben” Darrow as its schoolmaster. Darrow “foresaw that radio had created the possibility of a global village” (Bianchi, 2008). “The central and dominant aim of education by radio,” he <a href="http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Radio">said</a>, “is to bring the world to the classroom, to make universally available the services of the finest teachers, the inspiration of the greatest leaders and unfolding events which through the radio may come as a vibrant and challenging textbook of the air.” With the experience he gained in Chicago, Darrow traveled to Ohio in 1928 and made contact with the Ohio Department of Education. The following year, on January 7, 1929, the Ohio School of the Air was founded. By November of that year, at the first Ohio School of the Air conference, Darrow predicted that, with the help of educational broadcasting, “the minds of boys and girls will be dipped directly into the flame of living genius with its correspondingly greater inspirational and ambition-arousing possibilities” (Darrow, 1929). The Ohio School of the Air continued for eight years, attracting teaching talent from around the state of Ohio. Lessons focused on the social sciences (history, government, geography), on the arts, on current events…nearly all of the subjects we see today, with the exception of math, were represented. In a survey conducted during the 1933-1934 school year and sent to 475 schools, 182 schools of the 270 surveys returned reported using Ohio School of the Air lessons, or 38% of schools and 67% of respondents. Unfortunately, the Ohio Department of Education ceased funding of the School of the Air in 1937, ending its run. This collection contains materials from the Ohio School of the Air, which continued to educate Ohio’s students until a lack of funding caused its demise in 1936. Former State Librarian Paul A.T. Noon contributed lessons to the school, primarily on literature, and in this collection you can view transcripts for those lessons, complete with his notes and edits. You can also view the proceedings from the first Ohio School of the Air conference, as well as the annual report from the 1933-1934 school year and the final annual report from 1935-1936.

Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the entry. Probably the oldest, and certainly the largest, program of the State Library is the Government Documents Department. While no actual date can be determined as to the beginning of the program, it is known that as early as 1823 the State Library’s holdings included a long list of congressional publications. The number of publications grew as the number of federal agencies grew. Documents have been received in various formats over the years, from paper to microfilm, microfiche, and digitally. Unfortunately, as the collection grew, the space did not. From the very beginning, the Library had very limited space for its documents collection. The collection now contains over one million federal documents with an average of 7,000 being added each year. The State Library is the only full federal depository for Ohio working with fifty other libraries in the state that are partial depositories for federal documents. The State Library was designated in 1962 to be the full depository of state documents as well. As part of its responsibility to the other depository libraries in Ohio, the State Library published and distributed Ohio Documents Classification Scheme, a guide to those who organized or managed document collections. The State Library was one of twenty-two libraries in the nation selected by the U.S. Government Printing Office for a field test of document availability in microform. The documents department was provided with a microfiche set of the Code of Federal Regulations for the test. Many new state government publications are now being produced in electronic format and this presented new challenges for the library. The <a href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/">Ohio Revised Code</a> required state agencies to provide the State Library with one hundred copies of each publication intended for public use; however it did not provide any mechanism for handling information only produced in electronic format. The Library purchased software to automatically gather web-based State of Ohio publications. Library staff create catalog records for these items in the on-line catalog, and then add electronically-published materials to the online digital repository, <a href="http://www.ohiomemory.org/">Ohio Memory</a>. We also regularly digitize our earliest state government documents to facilitate access; digitized documents are also available in Ohio Memory in the following collections: <a href="http://www.ohiomemory.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p15005coll2">State Library of Ohio Historical Documents</a> <a href="http://www.ohiomemory.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p267401cdi">State Library of Ohio State Hospitals</a> <a href="http://www.ohiomemory.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p16007coll25">Treasurer of the State of Ohio Annual Reports</a> Sponsor The name of a person or organization that has sponsored the research for this specific entry.

Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the entry. 1817 The General Assembly approved the action of the governor (purchasing books for a library) and empowered him to appoint a librarian and adopt rules for use of the library. The governor was made responsible for the library. 1824 The General Assembly recognized the state library as a department of the state and appointed a state librarian to serve a three year term. 1845 The General Assembly created a Board of Commissioners made up of the governor, secretary of state, and the state librarian. 1853 The term of the state librarian was changed to two years. 1896 The Board of Commissioners was abolished and a new Board of Library Commissioners was created. Members were appointed by the governor, with consent of the senate, for a term of six years. The commission had full authority to manage the library, appoint and remove the state librarian. 1906 The General Assembly authorized the board of library commissioners to offer advice as to the organization and maintenance of public libraries throughout the state and created the position of library organizer. The organizer’s duties included aiding public library and establishing new ones. 1921 House Bill 249 repealed section 789 of the General Code. Section 154-26 abolished the state board of library commissioners, the librarian appointed by the state board of library commissioners, and the library organizer appointed by the state board of library commissioners. Section 154-51-154-54 of House Bill 249 created the state library board in the department of education with the director of education as chairman.* Four other members of the board would be appointed by the governor for eight year terms. The state library board would appoint and remove the state librarian. The board was given the power to make rules for the governance and operation of the state library. It could organize the library into departments and determine the number of staff needed. The state librarian had the power to appoint and remove all heads of departments within the library. The state librarian was secretary to the board.1933 The state aid law enlarged responsibilities for developing county-wide library service. 1956 The state library board was removed from the department of education. 1961 The board was changed to a five person board, appointed by the state board of education for five year terms. 1967 The state library’s official name became The State Library of Ohio. 1969 Ohio Library Development Plan (OLDP) resulted in a new law giving the state library dual responsibility as the reference library for state government and the state agency for the development and coordination of library services statewide. Today, the State Library is governed by a five member board. The Board members are appointed by the State Board of Education and each member serves a five year term of office. Under the Ohio Revised Code, section 3375.01, the State Library Board is responsible for the State Library of Ohio and a statewide program of development and coordination of library services. Specific powers of the State Library Board include: <ul><li>Maintain the State Library, holding custody of books, periodicals, pamphlets, films, recordings, papers, and other material and equipment.</li> <li>Accept, receive, administer, and expend in accordance with the terms thereof, any moneys, materials, or other aid granted, appropriated, or made available to it for library purposes by the United States, or any of its agents, or by any other source, public or private.</li> <li>Administer such funds as the General Assembly make available to it for the improvement of public library services, interlibrary cooperation, or any other library purposes.</li> <li>Approve, disapprove, or modify resolutions for establishment of county district libraries.</li> <li>Approve, disapprove, or modify resolutions to redefine boundaries resulting from school district consolidations.</li> <li>Amend, define, or adjust the boundaries of library districts submitting applications for changes in their boundaries.</li> <li>Encourage and assist the efforts of libraries and local governments to develop mutual and cooperative solutions to library services problems</li> <li>Recommend to the Governor and to the General Assembly such changes in the law as will strengthen and improve services and operations.</li> <li>Adopt such rules as are necessary for the carrying out of any function imposed by law.</li> </ul> Sponsor The name of a person or organization that has sponsored the research for this specific entry.
