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. The State Library of Ohio provides Talking Book services to approximately 14,000 Ohioans. Read about the Talking Book program's services below. Story The primary full-text for the entry. In 1956, the American Foundation for the Blind carried out a survey of library service for the blind. It recommended that each state should take over the financial responsibility for distribution of book in Braille and talking books either by centralizing service for the state in the state library or paying local libraries to provide it. The State Library Board chose to provide financial support for Cincinnati and Cleveland public libraries to provide the materials on a regional basis as there was not space within the current facilities to house the program. In July, 1981, the State Library became Ohio’s distributor of the talking book machines to blind and physically handicapped readers and persons with reading disabilities. In 1986 the State Library Board appointed the first Consumer Advisory Committee for Ohio’s Library Service to the Blind and Physically Handicapped. The machines are supplied by the Library of Congress National Library Service (NLS). The program’s inventory records were initially contained on 50,000 index cards which the Library computerized. General Electric Volunteers and Telephone Pioneers Repair groups throughout the state repaired the machines through 2013. In 2009 the <a href="https://www.loc.gov/nls/index.html">National Library Service</a> (NLS) began the transition from talking book analog tape machines to digital talking book players. The new machines have an USB port and uses flash drives in specialized cartridges. The State Library was named the 2010 National Library Services Network of the Year along with the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled, Cleveland. The Library <a href="https://library.ohio.gov/using-the-library/services-for-the-blind/">supplies the service</a> through sixty-one libraries and other agencies to approximately 14,000 readers in Ohio.

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.

Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the entry. The summer of 1896 saw the creation of the Traveling Library System. Modeled after the program of the New York State Library, the collections consisted of twenty-five to thirty books in boxes which were made by residents at the Ohio School for the Deaf. Collections were sent to reading clubs, citizens, boards of education, public libraries, and granges. The objectives were to furnish good literature; strengthen small libraries; and to create an interest in the establishment of new ones. The first collection was sent to a women’s club in Mt. Vernon, Ohio on November 6, 1896. The first school collection was sent to Adelphi. The first grange to receive a traveling library collection was Number 729 in West Jefferson, Ohio. More than three fourths of the collections were sent to rural communities and small villages that had no libraries. Schools and granges were located in remote areas of the state. By 1899 the Traveling Library was even going to North Bass Island in Lake Erie although transportation from Sandusky after November was not dependable due to the weather. Book purchases for the school collections were made from the list recommended by the Board of Control of the Ohio Teachers’ Reading Circle. Agricultural books for the granges were selected on approval of the lecturer of the State Grange. Additional space was soon needed elsewhere for the Traveling Library program. Quarters were rented at 1991/2 East Gay Street, and its former space was now used for the General Library Department. By 1910 there were 1,387 traveling libraries in Ohio, circulating books through women’s clubs, schools, granges, libraries, study clubs, religious organizations, and men’s clubs. Circulation for the collections in the Traveling Library steadily rose throughout the seventy-seven years that the program operated. In 1896 the circulation of the traveling library was 250. By 1930 it had risen to 600,000. Additional space was soon needed elsewhere for the Traveling Library program. Quarters were rented at 199 1/2 East Gay Street, and its former space was now used for the General Library Department.

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. Bookmobiles were a staple in communities throughout Ohio for most of the 20th century. Read more about them here! Story The primary full-text for the entry. By 1939, 18 public libraries in Ohio were operating bookmobiles, circulating 1.5 million books and traveling over 171,000 miles. During the war years, both the services and the production of bookmobiles were in decline.Since their beginning in the early 1900s, bookmobiles have been the most notable library outreach service in the United States. Bookmobiles got their start in Ohio in 1923, when the Dayton and Montgomery County Public Library began its service. The State Library of Ohio's outreach focus remained with the <a href="http://slo200.library.ohio.gov/items/show/7">Traveling Libraries program</a> for the first half of the 20th century. However, the passage of the Library Services Act in 1956 gave a boost to the bookmobile programs throughout Ohio. The purpose of the federal funds was to aid in the further development of rural library services and in 1957 the State Library awarded Guernsey County District Library a grant to purchase the first bookmobile under this program. Funds were also awarded to purchase bookmobiles for use in Ashtabula, Holmes, and Ottawa counties. The State Library also used federal funds for two additional bookmobiles to operate from the newly established bookmobile centers to serve rural areas of the state. By 1969, State Library bookmobiles were serving 22 counties. Southeastern Ohio Regional Library Service Center (SEO) served Noble, Washington, Morgan, Perry, Muskingum, Monroe, Belmont, Guernsey and Harrison counties. The Northwest Regional Library Center in Napoleon, served Fulton, Defiance and Henry counties. The Central Ohio Bookmobile in Columbus served Union, Champaign, Madison and Fayette counties. Additional bookmobile units included the Adams-Brown Bookmobile in Winchester, Lawrence County Bookmobile, and the Meigs-Jackson- Vinton Bookmobile. By 1973, 60 public libraries in Ohio were providing bookmobile service. In 1970, the Napoleon center had become a Regional Bookmobile Center and in 1980 moved to Bowling Green, Ohio, to be more centrally located. The center now included Wood County in its service area. In January, 1976, the Lawrence County Bookmobile, and the Meigs-Jackson- Vinton Bookmobile were transferred to the Ohio Valley Area Libraries (OVAL) Area Library Service Organization (ALSO) and were operated from Wellston, Ohio. The Adams-Brown Bookmobile unit began serving Clinton County in 1981 and became the Southwest Bookmobile Center. In 1983 collections from Northwest, Southwest centers and SEO were added to the on-line system. Dial access printer terminals allowed bookmobiles to determine one another’s holdings and enabled state library staff to identify field unit holdings. Also in 1983, new trucks were purchased to serve Fulton, Defiance, Erie, and Wood counties in the northwest, and Adams, Brown, and Clinton counties in the southwest. In 1984 the Central Ohio Bookmobile Center closed. Ohio’s first bookmobile workshop in ten years was held in June, 1985, at Bowling Green State University and brought together librarians to discuss and hear presentations about bookmobile services. The Rural Bookmobile Workshop was the beginning of nine national bookmobile conferences convened by the State Library of Ohio. The attendance grew from 40 to nearly 300 over the next nine conferences. Participants came from 40 states, Canadian provinces and Australia. Quality of service was a topic discussed as was technology, staff training and new concepts in marketing and design. The focus of the third conference was the development of bookmobiles standards and guidelines. By the seventh conference the “National Bookmobiles Guidelines” were reexamined and updated for accuracy, validity and usefulness. The State Library hosted its last conference in 1994. The Southwest Bookmobile Center which had operated for more than 26 years from a converted theater in Winchester, Ohio, moved to St. Martin, Ohio, in 1985. SEO served five counties in 1985 through the bookmobile, and Northwest was serving six counties. A total of 16 counties were served through State Library of Ohio bookmobiles in 1985. In 1986 Northwest added Ottawa County and leased a new building. SEO’s new automated circulation system became operational in September. In 1987 Northwest received a new bookmobile and now served Fulton, Defiance, Paulding, Erie, Ottawa and Wood counties and in 1989, included Van Wert County in its service area. The State Library was serving 17 counties with bookmobiles in 1990 and in 1991 purchased the building it had been leasing for the Southeastern Regional Library Center. By 1993 63 Ohio public libraries were providing bookmobile service. The Dynix circulation system purchased for SEO in 1993, linked the catalogs of 11 libraries and the two bookmobile centers in northwest and southwest. With the increased support of technology, bookmobiles were better able to serve their patrons as they could check availability of materials and reserve them more quickly. However, budget constraints forced the State Library to evaluate its overall services in 1994 and the Northwest Bookmobile Center was closed at the end of year. By 1995 the online catalog and circulation system, Dynix, connected bookmobile collections in Adams, Brown, Clinton, Highland, Harrison, Licking, Monroe, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, and Washington counties. In 2001, 54 public libraries still had bookmobiles and the State Library contracted with seven libraries for the service. However, in 2002 the Southwest Bookmobile Center closed and that same year SEO stopped its bookmobile service and converted its bookmobile to a mobile lab. A 35 foot bookmobile was retrofitted with equipment including networked computers, digital projector and networked printers. A wireless bridge connected the mobile center using the local library’s internet connection. Libraries and state agencies scheduled the lab for several weeks at a time to provide on-site technology training. The lab operated for fourteen years. It was replaced in 2016, with On Demand Technology Training. A trainer with a projector, screen and multiple laptops travels to sites to provide training for library staff patrons, schools, and non-profit organizations.

Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the 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.

The History of Federally-Funded Programming at the State Library Lede A brief introductory section that is intended to entice the reader to read the full entry. Since 1956, the State Library of Ohio has utilized federal funds to provide vital programming to Ohio's citizens. Story The primary full-text for the entry. In 1956 the Library Services Act (LSA) was passed, providing federal funds to the states to support library programs. The State Library became the administering agency for the program in Ohio. Once again, the State Library Board proved to be very forward-thinking in their efforts to support libraries, with m any of the efforts that the Board was addressing with state aid now eligible for support with federal funds. The LSA was allocated to the states on a formula basis. The State Library submitted a long range program for the improvement of library services in Ohio to the U.S. Office of Education. The long range program was an expansion of the OLDP which had been developed earlier for expanding library services. In 1962 the Library Services Act became the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA). The LSCA was expanded, authorizing appropriations for new programs in inter-library cooperation, state institutions, and to the physically handicapped. The “C” was added to the new program for construction. The Board arranged for the State Architect’s office to supervise Title II construction of library buildings. The program consisted of three titles-Title I for the continuing extension and improvement of library services to people who were without adequate service; Title II for construction of new or renovated library buildings; and Title III for coordination of resources of various types of libraries. The act and appropriations were renewed over the next thirty- four years. Library directors, staff, local trustees and experts in the given field were invited to serve on the advisory committees convened to address the programming needs of the that particular area of library services and provide the State Library Board with recommendations for the direction of the programs. In 1972, Title II for construction was no longer funded through LSCA; however, the 1983 Emergency Jobs Bill revived the construction program and Ohio received $2.7 million in early 1984 for library construction and renovation. Eighteen public libraries were able to benefit from the program. Through the LSCA Title III grant program cooperative efforts were being funded in several metropolitan areas. In 1996 the program was moved to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and changed to LSTA for Library Services and Technology Act, to aid in the creation of a technology infrastructure. 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. The purpose of serving the underserved and rural areas was still supported. The LSTA program in Ohio continues to support cooperative programming among all types of libraries. In 2009 an IMLS/LSTA grant was awarded to the Instructional Technology Services of Central Ohio (ITSCO) for the development of the Literature Lounge. ITSCO worked with pubic and school libraries in Central Ohio to create Book Talks and online book studies. The project included professional development for media specialist and teachers, and students creating and editing video book reviews. The project is being continued through INFOhio. In 2010 the State Library awarded the Wood County District Library in Bowling Green, Ohio an IMLS/LSTA grant to purchase a new bookmobile. While a very old concept, the bookmobile continues to be a mainstay of library service for those patrons who cannot come to the library. The new bookmobile is serving preschoolers and senior centers in the area. Most recently, the State Library of Ohio has awarded competitive LSTA grants to fund the purchase of technology and training, and smaller open grants for programs that allow cardholders to borrow bikes; to purchase kits to foster STEM education for children; and develop partnerships between teens and senior citizens to increase older adults' comfort with using technology.
