NATIONAL HISTORY DAY SUPPLEMENTS [OHIO HUMANITIES REQUESTS $20,000 TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF OHIO HISTORY DAY (OHD) ?LIBRARY DAYS? INTO RURAL AREAS OF OHIO, INCLUDING WILBERFORCE AND GALLIPOLIS (APPALACHIA). LAUNCHED IN 2018, "LIBRARY DAYS" ALLOW OHD PARTICIPANTS TO WORK WITH LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS TO SECURE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND RESEARCH FOR THEIR PROJECT. "LIBRARY DAYS" PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE MATERIALS, RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT NEEDED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR PROJECTS. THIS MAY INCLUDE SETTING STUDENTS UP WITH LIBRARY CARDS, ORIENTING THEM TO THE BUILDING, AND TEACHING THEM HOW TO USE CATALOGS, SEARCH SCHOLARLY DATABASES, AND USE MICROFILM MACHINES.&NBSP;DURING "LIBRARY DAYS," STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND ONE-ON-ONE CONFERENCES WITH OHIO HISTORY DAY MENTORS, ATTEND MINI-LESSONS ON TOPICS RELATED TO CONDUCTING THEIR RESEARCH PROJECT, AND GET ASSISTANCE FROM LIBRARIANS AND MEDIA PROFESSIONALS ON COLLECTING SOURCES.<BR /> <BR /> THE PROGRAM HAS SERVED OHD PARTICIPANTS IN CLEVELAND, COLUMBUS, AND CINCINNATI. WITH THIS FUNDING, THE COUNCIL WILL BEGIN TO IMPLEMENT AND DEVELOP OHD PROGRAMS IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT LACK ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, ALLOWING MORE STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE AND LEARN IMPORTANT RESEARCH, CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING, READING, AND WRITING SKILLS. EXPANDING THIS PROGRAM WILL ENSURE THAT RURAL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SUPPORT AND RESEARCH MATERIAL THAT WILL MAKE THEIR HISTORY DAY EXPERIENCE MORE ENGAGING. FOR THOSE SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE IN-PERSON "LIBRARY DAYS," THE COUNCIL WILL TRAVEL TO THEIR CLASSES, FURTHER REDUCING BARRIERS TO ACCESS. OHIO HUMANITIES WILL PARTNER WITH OHIO HISTORY CONNECTION, THE STATE SPONSOR OF OHIO?S NATIONAL HISTORY DAY PROGRAM, AND PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEMS, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND DIVERSE SCHOLARS.&NBSP;]
