The Ohio State Lima students and the YWCA partnered to provide reading education and books to children enrolled in the YWCA Summer Day Camp Program.

The program aims to encourage the love of reading and to improve the reading achievement among children. Each youth participant will be able to take his or her books home and continue reading through the generous support of the Lima Lions Club, Lima American Legion Post 96, Fraternal Order of Eagles-Lima Branch, OSU-Lima Student Chapter of the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), and the OSU Service Learning/Outreach and Engagement Program.
