State Library and Teaching Books are partnering to host a new slate of thematic webinars this spring. The next webinar is April 4<sup>th</sup> and will focus on
<b>Getting Started with the Ohio Collections Analysis Initiative</b>. During the 60-minute webinar, participants will walk through the State Library’s Collection Analysis Initiative, with an overview of the available resources to consider the children’s and
young adult books in a library’s collections, programs, and displays. Attendees will learn how to import data and use the tools to purposefully reflect, augment, compare, and determine which titles best fit their community’s needs. Attendees will receive
a plan that both helps them implement their decisions and equips them to continue using these tools in future practices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
