 for Toledo Lucas County Public Library. In November 2022, the country’s second SAME (So All May Eat) Café opened at the library. This restaurant has a simple mission: To preserve the dignity of those who may not be able to access healthy food due to financial
 barriers. Instead, the café allows all guests to pay for food by volunteering time, giving produce, or donating money.<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></li></ul>

 Collections Stewardship with On-Demand Courses</a>: Creating and sharing digital collections is an important way that libraries can share and preserve unique local history, culture, stories, and artifacts. Digital collections offer an opportunity to represent
 a diversity of experiences and voices in your community that may be missing from your physical collection. Planning, creating, managing, preserving, and sharing digital collections, however, can be resource-intensive work that requires technology, new skills,
 and an ongoing commitment to maintain them. Understanding the full lifecycle of digital stewardship is critical to successful digital collections. This course series, designed specifically with the needs of small cultural institutions in mind, will guide you

 holiday aimed at creating awareness of voter registration opportunities for those who may not otherwise register. Libraries can play a crucial role in promoting voter engagement and education by providing registration forms, hosting candidate events, and offering
 resources such as voter guides and sample ballots. Libraries can also serve as community hubs for voter engagement activities, bringing together local organizations and elected officials to promote voter participation. Join this webinar to learn about the
 types of resources and services your library can provide to support voter registration and civic engagement. By participating in NVRD, libraries of all sizes and types can help ensure that all citizens have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote and
 participate fully in our democracy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
