State Library of Ohio is excited to announce that it has purchased statewide access to
<a href="http://stliboh.info/lib-homeless2">The Librarian’s Guide to Homelessness</a> through Niche Academy. The online training, authored by Ryan Dowd, is now available for all Ohio public 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. A former
director of a Chicago homeless shelter, Ryan Dowd is the author of <i>The Librarians Guide to Homelessness: An Empathy-Driven Approach to Solving Problems, Preventing Conflict, and Serving Everyone</i>. He travels all over the United States speaking to libraries
about how to best help homeless patrons using empathy and respect. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">“I'm thrilled that the State Library of Ohio is able to offer this series of training modules to the state’s public libraries,” said Evan T. Struble, Associate State
Librarian for Library Development. “As we know, libraries should be open to all--and that includes patrons experiencing homelessness. Through these training modules, library staff will be given options on how best to serve that population with sensitivity
and confidence.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The online training will be available until
<b><span style="color:#00B050">September 17, 2020</span></b><span style="color:#00B050">
</span>so we encourage all Ohio libraries to access this valuable training while the subscription is active.
