Day By Day Ohio is a customization of a project of the South Carolina State Library, developed in partnership with many agencies and organizations, and primarily funded by a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
“We are grateful to our friends at the South Carolina State Library for sharing and allowing us to customize the project they developed,” said Cain. “We are also deeply grateful to the members of the Ohio Ready to Read Task Force, who spent months reviewing each daily calendar page and recommending updates and additions. I’d also like to personally acknowledge the work of the State Library’s IT, Youth Services, and Marketing staff for their hard work in bringing this project to life.”
