The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that The Librarian's Guide to Homelessness<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/training-and-professional-development/> core training purchased by the State Library in 2019 was recently renewed for another year (access through August 2021). The subscription includes access to live and recorded webinars. Subsequent archived webinars are available as separate modules in Niche Academy.  The online training, authored by Ryan Dowd, is available for all Ohio public and academic library staff.  The four-part training is an empathy-driven approach that provides best practices for library staff on how to understand the homeless population and serve them better. There are also practical tips on how to deal with and de-escalate common situations and issues, and make staff feel empowered and safe.
