Prepare to Answer Civil Legal Questions in Times of Crisis</a>: With the economy staggering, unemployment soaring to unprecedented heights, and families reeling from weeks of confinement and uncertainty, people are turning to their libraries for help. Many
of the issues people are struggling with involve civil legal information; questions related to unemployment, debt/money issues, foreclosures and evictions, or family stressors are all on the rise due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar, two law librarians
highlight the most common civil legal issues they are seeing, provide guidance on key ways for public libraries to respond to civil legal needs, and discuss best practices for online reference services. Let$B!G(Bs work together to re-empower our struggling communities
and demonstrate just how essential libraries are in times of crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><a href="https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.webjunction.org%2Fcourse%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearch%3Donline%2Breference%2Bbasics&data=02%7C01%7Cmarshams%40library.ohio.gov%7C50c806c06fc842ae1ccc08d833e122c2%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637316389409816057&sdata=coZtetBrVIsT8woRXqOBBTgJiM55tc2kcREsMlxN%2Bpo%3D&reserved=0">Online
Reference Basics</a>: Online, or virtual reference, has rapidly become a service offered by many public libraries. It uses the tools of the internet to extend traditional reference service to the point of need, bringing the service to patron rather than requiring
the patron to come in to the library. This course will help the learner to provide basic online reference service involving email and chat. The course addresses the advantages and disadvantages of online reference, gives step-by-step guidance, and provides
tips and resources.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Opportunity often hides behind adversity. As libraries look to a future of post-pandemic challenges, from looming budget cuts to increasingly
urgent community needs, David Lankes, in The "New Normal" Agenda for Librarianship, encourages us to consider framing the positive opportunities, rather than loss, in the changes that lie ahead. If we are intentional, we can use these circumstances to grow
our organizations and to address the digital access disparities in small and rural communities. This presentation will explore how one rural library has improved internet access in partnership with an internet service provider, hosted telehealth appointments
in collaboration with healthcare providers and transportation agencies, worked with schools to ensure opportunities for youth through esports, and improved digital literacy skills for patrons and local businesses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">While classroom training has an important place in library staff education, learning is extended and reinforced when staff have the opportunity
to work through difficult topics outside of the classroom. In order to support staff learning about issues of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), Multnomah County Library has developed a $B!H(BRacially Just$B!I(B toolkit, containing activities staff can use to learn
and practice on their own, with colleagues, or in their staff groups. The toolkit workbooks include information and activities related to bias, microaggressions, allyship and cross-cultural communication, as well as a workbook focused on learning about Native
American and Alaska Native people and communities. Learn how Multnomah Library developed the workbooks and what indicators signaled that their organization was ready to support staff with self-paced learning about EDI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
