ODE created this special $5 million grant program specifically for public libraries to support Future Forward Ohio, the state’s strategic priorities to help students recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These federally-supported COVID-19 relief funds are part of a larger package of recovery supports, including tutoring, summer enrichment and after-school learning programs, which will directly meet the needs of Ohio’s students.

The Libraries Accelerating Learning Grant is open to all public library systems in Ohio and collaboration between library systems is permitted. Awards are anticipated to range between $25,000 and $250,000.
