Promoting the Kiosk at Your Library
The Wild About Eyes kiosk is a smaller (3 feet x 6 feet) four sided display that integrates four main eye health and safety themes of the Wise About Eyes exhibit into its four panels. The Kiosk was built to accommodate smaller public spaces that do not have the capacity to host the larger Wise About Eyes exhibit.
The exhibit’s learning objectives have been aligned with the National Health Education Proficiency, National Science Education Proficiency Standards and National Technology Education Proficiency Standards (which have been adopted by the Ohio Department of Education).
To date, the Wild About Eyes kiosk has been on display at twenty three libraries, serving approximately 194,000 children and their caretakers.
PBO in cooperation with the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, will travel and display the Wild About Eyes educational kiosk at the following nine venues in SFY 2012, including:
- Norwalk Public Library
- Louisville Public Library
- Perry County District Library
- Marysville Public Library
- Willard Memorial Library
- Lorain Public Library System
- Mentor Public Library
- Portsmouth Public Library
- Nelsonville Public Library
PBO organizes a special reading hour at each Wild About Eyes host library. Local and state legislators are invited, as well as the local Bureau of Motor Vehicles office, local eye doctors, local Lions Club members, the mayor, school superintendent, etc. Each child who attends the reading hour receives a gift bag that contains a copy of the book Arthur’s Eyes, a pair of safety glasses, literature about vision health and safety for their parent/guardian and information about the Save Our Sight Fund.
