[A group of children smiling  Description automatically generated with medium confidence]<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ohio-collection-analysis-initiative/>In Spring of 2022, the State Library of Ohio announced the Ohio Collection Analysis Initiative<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ohio-collection-analysis-initiative/>. Since its launch, 248 public, school, and academic library staff members from over 60 counties throughout Ohio have registered for exclusive access to this original, self-paced, collection analysis initiative. Throughout the spring and summer, participants have explored resources, attended webinars and open office hours<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ohio-collection-analysis-initiative/#OfficeHours>, and used tools to consider collections that empower children and young adult readers by respecting and appreciating what makes them different and the same. The initiative is ongoing—register for access at any time, start when you are ready, and work at your own pace.
