Library Leadership Ohio

The State Library of Ohio and OhioNET are again collaborating to bring you the 2020 Library Leadership Ohio<https://libraryleadershipohio.org/> Institute. Recognizing the ongoing challenges faced by all Ohio libraries, we believe that developing the next generation of transformative library leaders is vital to ensure the continued depth, growth, and quality of library services for all.

LLO 2020, Living our Values: The Library’s Role in Social Change, will be held at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center <https://www.nwhotelandconferencecenter.com/> in Lewis Center, Ohio, beginning the evening of July 14, 2020 and concluding at noon on July 17, 2020.  Tuition for LLO 2020 is $550. The event will be facilitated by OhioNET and The State Library of Ohio, along with special guest speakers with statewide and national reach, both from inside and outside of the library profession.

32 individuals will be selected to attend LLO 2020.  More information about the selection process and the online application, itself, are available at: www.libraryleadershipohio.org<http://www.libraryleadershipohio.org>.  Complete applications must be received by 11:59 P.M. January 17, 2020.

Census Resources
The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the creation of the Census Resources for Libraries <https://stliboh.info/cf0> web page. For the first time in United States history, the forthcoming Census will offer an online option to respond. In Ohio, there are many libraries that serve areas with limited internet connectivity and have historically been challenging for the Census Bureau to count. As community hubs with internet access, libraries will play a critical role in ensuring all Ohioans are counted.  Libraries are essential to every community, campus, student, and patron that come through its doors or connects online.

The State Library of Ohio wants to make sure all Ohio libraries and library staff have the resources they need to be prepared for Census programming, outreach, and patron questions.  The Census Resource for Libraries <https://stliboh.info/cf0> web page provides a wealth of information and links including a Census timeline<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/census-resources/#Timeline>, dispelling Census myths<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/census-resources/#Myths>, marketing <https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/census-resources/#MarketingPromotion> and promotional tools, and potential partners <https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/census-resources/#Partnerships> . The page will be updated regularly as more information and resources come out.
A Note from the Executive Director
[https://myneotoday.org/photos/35223_01302017091627.jpg]Best wishes to you and your families for a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday filled with good food, good friends, good weather, safe travels and everything else that makes your holiday special.  As I reflect on the past year at NEO-RLS I am grateful for so many things that have transpired.    You continue to amaze me with your thoughtful feedback on our webinars and workshops, pushing us to continually improve.  Our Advisory Groups enthusiastically suggest timely and interesting ideas for continuing education opportunities.  The increased involvement from the academic libraries has enriched our learning and networking experiences.  Participation from non-board members on our Standing and Ad Hoc Board committees has provided fresh and diverse perspectives, all with an eye to moving us forward into the future.  I have continued to visit libraries and am grateful for the time you have spent with me, the ideas you have proffered and the support you have shown NEO-RLS.  I have learned so much this past year from all of you and for that I am most grateful.  Together we really are maximizing library potential.  Happy Thanksgiving!
