Update: New sites added for the Job and Career Resources Workshops 


The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Civilian Labor Force
Estimates show unemployment rates have increased dramatically in most
Ohio counties, with some rates above 15.0 percent. Many unemployed
workers are turning to public libraries for job search resources and
assistance. To help libraries prepare to meet this demand, the State
Library of Ohio awarded an Institute of Museum and Library Services LSTA
grant to the Stark County District Library to conduct free workshops for
librarians assisting community members to learn about and apply for
jobs. The one-day sessions will include information for libraries about
how to identify and target sectors seeking employment, develop community
partnerships and sponsors, provide job and career workshops, explore job
fairs, offer job and career services, seek marketing promotions, utilize
library material resources, feature internet sources and evaluate
feedback.

These free workshops are scheduled at eight public libraries around the
state during the months of May and June 2009. Renee Williams, MLS, First
Assistant Reference Services, Stark County District Library has
developed the workshops and will train librarians to help community
members who are coping with unemployment.

Libraries hosting the trainings include  Warren Trumbull Co. Public
