2025 Ohio Reading Challenge

From July 15th, 2025 through September 15th, 2025, Ohioana is hosting the 2025 Ohio Reading Challenge! Read books by Ohio authors and illustrators or books about Ohio topics to complete the bingo board reading challenges. (We suggest the 2025 Ohio Book Award finalists!). Mark the completed squares on your bingo board. Every bingo you complete qualifies for 1 entry for our prize raffles. If you complete your entire board, you qualify for 12 entries. When you're done, fill out your info and upload a photo of your bingo board to: survey.typeform.com/to/mWB5W8MR

If you're wondering who counts as an "Ohio" author or illustrator, Ohioana goes by these criteria: Either the author or illustrator is currently living in Ohio, was born here, or has lived in Ohio at some point for 3 years or longer. 

Thank you to Beanbag Books, Birdie Books, The Bookmatters Bookstore, Cover to Cover Books for Young Readers, Gramercy Books, Prologue Bookshop, and Storyline Bookshop for generously donating gift cards to their incredible indie book stores for our Ohio Reading Challenge Prize winners! And the grand prize is 2 tickets to the 2025 Ohio Book Awards event at the Ohio Statehouse on October 15, 2025. See the board and the directions below!
