The USDA’s <a href="http://www.fns.usda.gov/sfsp/summer-food-service-program-sfsp" title="SFSP">
Summer Food Service Program </a>(SFSP) provides free healthy meals to children and youth in communities with high rates of poverty. Many Ohio libraries already participate as SFSP sites, or provide programming to other SFSP sites in their communities.
<br>
<br>
If your library is a site, or if there are other SFSP sites in your city or community, please help build awareness by distributing
<strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">free SFSP bookmarks </span>
</strong>being supplied by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). As few as 1 in 10 eligible Ohio students receive food through the SFSP. Anything we can do to connect more kids with summer meals will be helpful in addressing child hunger and food insecurity
in the summer. <br>
<br>
The bookmarks will include basic info, about finding SFSP sites, that applies to any community where sites exist. It will be printed one side English, the other Spanish.
<br>
You may order bookmarks in any quantity, in multiples of 100. The ODE will ship them directly to you in April-May. There is no charge for the bookmarks or for shippingT<br>

this weather wonderful?! I am truly enjoying the sunshine but with the spring comes a lot of extra activity for many of us. Everything is ramping up for the end of the semester in academic libraries. School libraries are winding down the school year and
public libraries are getting ready for their busy summer reading season. Many of us are involved in these activities both personally and professionally, making our lives stressful at times. Last Thursday at our Critical Conversations Conference, one of our
speakers, Erin Turner, provided us with a simple grounding technique to help us pause for a moment and alleviate some of the stress. She mentioned that grounding techniques often use our five senses to connect us to the moment and recommended the use of Play-Doh!
Everyone was given a small container of Play-Doh and asked to really look at the color for a minute. We then closed our eyes and proceeded to feel the Play-Doh, manipulate it, smell it and for those who wanted – taste it. It was a simple and inexpensive
exercise that helped connect us to the here and now. The next time you or one of your co-workers is feeling overwhelmed with all that is going on, grab some Play-Doh, share some Play-Doh, and ground yourself!
