Project Books: How to Get One in 2022
-
Order and pick up project books in your county office. To purchase a project book, check with your club advisor and county educator. Ohio residents get the best price on printed books when they order and pick up their purchases through local Extension offices.
- Buy one online. You also can order directly from extensionpubs.osu.edu. Ohio residents receive free standard shipping on orders of $20 or more with coupon FREE2022. Books cost slightly more this way, but orders can be shipped directly to any Ohio address. There is no restriction on the number of times a coupon can be used. See our printable Ordering Is Easy instructions. Please review your order carefully. Extension Publishing is not able to accept returns.
- Make your own. Members can create their own self-determined projects. We're sharing some great ideas with the idea starters here.Â
