*Slavery... Here?*

It seems like a word that belongs to another place or even another time,
but human trafficking is indeed happening in our very back yards. Maybe Las
Vegas seems more likely, but even though Cincinnati ranks only 65th in US
population, a year ago, Cincinnati.com reported
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecincinnati%2Ecom%2Fstory%2Fopinion%2Fcontributors%2F2015%2F09%2F22%2Fexperts%2Dohio%2Damong%2Dworst%2Dsex%2Dtrafficking%2F72613268%2F>
that Ohio was "among worst for sex trafficking."  Northern Kentucky may
seem to have more small-town charm, but as recently as May of this year, a
NKY man was accused of running a human trafficking ring
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Flocal12%2Ecom%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fnorthern%2Dkentucky%2Dman%2Dran%2Dhuman%2Dtrafficking%2Dring%2Dout%2Dof%2Dindependence%2Dhome>
out of Kenton County, Kentucky.

It is a global problem
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehumanrightsfirst%2Eorg%2Fresource%2Fhuman%2Dtrafficking%2Dnumbers>.
Human trafficking exists all over and occurs, in part, because it is such a
huge revenue generator. Mary Richie of the Women's Crisis Center put it
bluntly in this Fox19 interview
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efox19%2Ecom%2Fstory%2F18610105%2Fchild%2Dsex%2Dslaves%2Din%2Dthe%2Dtri%2Dstate>.
"You can sell a line of coke once," Richie says, "You can sell a person
over and over and over again."

But it is also a local problem: In 2015, Ohio reported 289 cases
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efox19%2Ecom%2Fstory%2F31250100%2Fohio%2Dsex%2Dtrafficking%2Dnumbers%2Damong%2Dthe%2Dhighest%2Din%2Dthe%2Dnation>
of human trafficking. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in
Cincinnati, overlooking the Ohio River and Northern Kentucky, points out
that the area faces many unique challenges
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffreedomcenter%2Eorg%2F%5Fmedia%2Fpdf%2FHumanTraffickingReport%2Epdf>
when
it comes to modern-day slavery in the Tri-State area: "Cincinnati abuts
Kentucky and Indiana, allowing traffickers to easily move across state and
city borders where the laws and regulations on human trafficking differ."

But what, you may wonder, can you do about it?

Many people may walk through your doors, and if you work in a public
library, you know that all kinds of people end up in your public building.
Those of you that work in schools may have victims in your classrooms
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2%2Eed%2Egov%2Fabout%2Foffices%2Flist%2Foese%2Foshs%2Ffactsheet%2Ehtml>,
and not just in high schools, either. Children make up 30%
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eunis%2Eunvienna%2Eorg%2Funis%2Fen%2Fevents%2F2015%2Fcrime%5Fcongress%5Fhuman%5Ftrafficking%2Ehtml>
of US trafficking victims.

And, of course, you may encounter victims of human trafficking at any time
as a citizen in your community.

If you suspect trafficking, there are a number of hotlines you can call.
The National Human Trafficking Resource Center can be contacted at
*1-888-3737-888*. The Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fhumantrafficking%2Eohio%2Egov%2FHome%2Easpx>
has a number of resources, including these excellent posters and flyers
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fhumantrafficking%2Eohio%2Egov%2FCampaign%2Easpx>
you could place in your library. Kentucky residents can check out Rescue
and Restore Kentucky
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Erescueandrestoreky%2Eorg%2F>.
And locally, you can check out End Slavery Cincinnati
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eendslaverycincinnati%2Eorg%2F>
.

And Bhumika Patel of End Slavery Cincinnati will be joining us on October
25th
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2609572&ymlink=44330292&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Esite%2Dym%2Ecom%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D863258%26group%3D>

[image: ABOS Logo] *Meet Adriana Silva, winner of the ABOS Attendance
Award!*

The winner of our scholarship to attend the Association of Bookmobile &
Outreach Services has been selected: Congrats to Adriana Silva, of the
Youth Services Department of Boone County Public Library's Florence Branch.
We hope you have a great time and get to learn some wonderful things,
Adriana![image: ABOS Winner]

Adriana has been in her position for eight years. Besides working with
families and children at the library, she's been reaching out the
Spanish-speaking community in her own area, letting them know about library
services and making them feel comfortable and welcome at the library.

She loves the outdoors, and taking walks with her family, except during the
cold months -- then she likes to stay indoors and watch movies! "Needless
to say," she writes, "I love Mexican food and would like to travel all over
the world!"

Congratulations again, Adriana, and enjoy the ABOS Conference in Covington,
KY on Oct. 19-21! There's still time left to register, for those of you who
would like to attend. Registration ends on September, 28th.

StackMap locates any physical resource within your library's space. Based
out of San Francisco, they serve libraries worldwide in mapping collections
and computer availability.

StackMap is an indoor mapping web application that integrates with any
catalog/discovery interface. After a patron searches the library catalog,
they see a button that displays a map of the floor where their item is
located with a pin on the shelving unit.

StackMap is offering this discount for Supporting Members when you say that
you're a part of SWON! If you would like a quote for your library, please
