Early childhood literacy is a priority for First Lady Fran DeWine. The FY 20-21 State Budget Bill appropriated $5 million to create the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library (OGIL). The OGIL is an expansion of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Ohio, which sends new books to children from birth to age 5. Currently, there are over 700,000 children under the age of five in the state of Ohio, but less than 100,000 of those children are currently participating in the program.
The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library provides the opportunity to change that and expand participation across the state by partnering with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and working with new and existing affiliates. This webinar will provide detailed information on the new program and how to become an affiliate or local partner.
What’s Included: Participation in the live webinar and/or access to the archived version at a later date, resources (if applicable) provided by the presenters.

At best, leveling books is another tool to help children choose “just right” books. At worst, it is an expensive product that labels kids, kills the joy of reading, and makes false promises to educators. This brief overview of how leveling works can help us understand both what we can use in each leveling system and how to talk with educators and parents about avoiding the pitfalls.

Overview:
In 2019, eBooks hit a record-breaking level of popularity at public libraries in Ohio and around the country, but libraries are in the middle of a battle for the future of their digital collections. New licensing terms from the nation’s top publishers are restricting how libraries can purchase and circulate eBooks. These new policies drastically limit access and ultimately hurt people who depend upon libraries the most. This webinar will provide the most current information on eBook lending, advocacy efforts at the federal level, and specific actions you can take to advance these efforts.
Topics include:
- Status of the #eBooksForAll campaign.
- Results of recent meetings with publishers.
- Federal government intervention, including next steps with Congress.
- Media and community outreach tools to build library support.
