Children’s Hunger Alliance
Do you get hungry kids in the library after school? Who doesn't? If your library is in an area where at least 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced price school meals, consider this:

Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA) provides FREE meals to libraries across the State of Ohio through the USDA’s Child and Adult Food Care Program . CHA has started a new model that is easier to implement and manage, using nutritious, kid-friendly, shelf-stable products. Less fuss and muss. And, it’s a great way to welcome more children and teens ages 0-18 (and through age 21 for individuals with an IAP). If you’ve never offered afterschool snacks/meals before, or if you’ve tried without much success, this may work for you, as it has with many sites in Ohio.

We know that 1 in 5 children in the state of Ohio do not always know where their next meal will come from. CHA works with vendors across the state to provide nutritious and FREE meals for students in afterschool programs. Please contact Jared Buerger, Director of Afterschool Nutrition to learn more about receiving free, nutritious meals for students during out-of-school-time programs at your library.

Contact: jbuerger at childrenshungeralliance.org <mailto:jbuerger at childrenshungeralliance.org> or 1-800-227-6446 ext. 313.

F. Gerald Ham and Elsie Ham Scholarship
The deadline for applications for the F. Gerald Ham and Elsie Ham Scholarship of $10,000, one of SAA's most substantial awards for graduate archival education, is coming soon:  February 28!
Keep in mind these eligibility requirements:

  *   The student must have successfully completed a  minimum of three (3) semester credit hours, or the equivalent , of a course(s) meeting the definition of "core archival knowledge" presented in the Guidelines.
  *   The scholarship funds must be used to support the graduate archival education of a student who is studying at a United States university program that meets the criteria for graduate education set forth by the Society of American Archivists'  Guidelines for a Graduate Program in Archival Studies <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farchivists.org%2Fgpas&data=02%7C01%7Chsoyka%40kent.edu%7Ce953b8630d084f0ff85608d7807d296f%7Ce5a06f4a1ec44d018f73e7dd15f26134%7C1%7C0%7C637119147372695889&sdata=AHSLK3p%2Fe2AL1XM5LSbFNcd9RvZqlJrLy211D55afoY%3D&reserved=0> .

A Note from the Executive Director
[https://myneotoday.org/photos/35223_01302017091627.jpg]Due to the holidays the newsletter will be on hiatus for the next two weeks.  However, we will be busy putting the finishing touches on the CE opportunities for January – June 2020.  We have a strong line-up of webinars in January and February to start the year as well as our Summer Reading Programs. 2020 will see the introduction of our new Customer Service Academy and our new Leadership Academy , both beginning in March.  Check the website in January for details about how you can participate in each of these new learning opportunities.  In addition, we continue to create workshops and webinars based on your input.  This coming year the popular Day for Circ has been modified based on feedback and will be called Day for Public Services so that all front line staff are able to participate and benefit from a variety of relevant content.  The New Supervisors’ Academy will begin in February.  Critical Conversations: Taboo Topics will take place on April 2nd and focus on issues confronting libraries including Human Trafficking, Youth and Elder Abuse, Personal Safety, Harassment Training and more.  The Emerging Tech Symposium will be held June 11th and focus on the maker mindset.  Check out the website and mark your calendars.  We always try to provide something for everyone.  If you see something missing, let us know.  We hope you are excited about what is planned and we look forward to seeing you in 2020!  On behalf of the staff of NEO-RLS I would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a new year filled with peace and joy.
