Introduction
Thank you all for reading and visiting links from the State Library of Ohio's  first Continuing Education Roundup<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/training-and-professional-development/ce-roundup-ohio-library-staff/>. Things are changing at a rapid pace, and now libraries all over Ohio are making plans to reopen while keeping their staff and patrons safe.
An important service libraries provide is connecting patrons with the social services they need and providing a listening ear.  How can we provide these services and supply patrons with information during this time?  Can libraries pursue new partnerships with social service agencies to help provide remote services? How do library staff get prepared for the increased need in assistance with unemployment, healthcare, and mental health services?  These are all good questions to consider as we move forward through uncertain times and plan for reopening buildings and services.

Email me at ekelsey at library.ohio.gov<mailto:ekelsey at library.ohio.gov> if you have ideas, articles, or topics for future Continuing Education Roundup issues.
Stay safe and stay well,
Erin Kelsey
