Project Books

For complete descriptions of Ohio 4-H projects and the publications that support them, please refer to the 2013 Family Guide. If you are interested in learning more about a particular topic or title, you can search for it online at the Ohio State University Extension eStore.  

Ohio 4-H club advisors, club members, and other Ohio residents get the best price on project books and related materials when they order and pick up their purchases at their local county Extension offices.

Out-of-state residents or Ohio residents who want to buy online can go directly to the Ohio State University Extension eStore. Also, other state 4-H offices can benefit from our Partner Pricing program.
