Book Clubs are back in the library in June. Read a book, share your thoughts
Imagine a full bookshelf, available to a child at home before he or she ever enters a kindergarten classroom! Partnering with the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library (OGIL), United Way in Ottawa County and community leaders are “imagining” just such a scenario with the September 2020 launch of Imagination Library in Ottawa County. The combined efforts will put up to 60 picture books in the hands of every Ottawa County child, from birth to age 5.
