A Note From the
Continuing Education Coordinator

Whether you’d like to share a successful event hosted at your library, spotlight an outstanding colleague, or recommend some of your favorite media, there are a number of ways to contribute to the NEO-RLS newsletter.

We have two iterations of our Library Spotlight, News and Staff, to give you an opportunity to highlight programs or staff at your library. Select the News option to share a recent program or a new initiative that you have launched. Choose the Staff option to feature one of your colleagues and discuss their impact on your community. You have the option to remain anonymous, as well as attach a photo with your submission. To submit to Library Spotlight, click here<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=270548035&mm=92702331089>.

Perhaps you recently finished a book, listened to a podcast, or read an article that piqued your interest. We invite you to share your recommendation with the Northeast Ohio library community and beyond by submitting it to NEO-RLS Community Picks. Email ragan.snead at neo-rls.org<mailto:ragan.snead at neo-rls.org> with your selection(s) and why you found the content valuable.

Have a great day!

Jeff

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Parks and Watercraft, is again providing a discount for overnight stays at Ohio State Parks as an incentive to support Ohio’s summer library programs.

Any Ohio public library may distribute the certificate. The certificate is for all ages and is good for a $10 discount on camping, getaway rentals, lodges, or cabins at participating locations through September 30, 2024.

This year, the certificate is being distributed directly to Ohio public libraries. Janet emailed the certificate, details, and instructions to the Summer Library Program point person/persons at each Ohio public library system (same person/persons who receive CSLP manual access codes for your library). If your library didn’t receive the certificate, please let her know.

If your library uses the State Parks certificate as an SLP incentive, be sure to print/copy the certificates on green paper (any shade), include your library name on each certificate, and read the fine print and have your patrons read the fine print.

The Ohio State Fair youth admission voucher should be ready soon and will be distributed the same way, directly to Ohio public libraries. Spring is here and summer’s on its way. Happy planning!

Ohioana Book Festival,  Saturday, April 20, 2024

Main Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library

More than 120 Ohio authors and illustrators will be featured. Learn about them here:

www.ohioana.org/programs/ohioana-book-festival/2024-book-festival-authors/<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=270584695&mm=92702331089>

This year’s festival celebrates 15 years of Choose to Read Ohio<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=270585917&mm=92702331089> with a series of special author panels and presentation of the 2024 Floyd’s Pick Book Award<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=270587139&mm=92702331089> to Julia Kuo. Among the festival participants are many authors and illustrators who have appeared on the CTRO booklist, as well as FIVE Floyd’s Pick Book Award-winning authors and illustrators and several Floyd’s Pick honor authors and illustrators.

The festival runs from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is packed solid with authors, events, and fun. In addition to the panel discussions with featured authors, all the festival authors will have tables at a book fair are so you can meet them, get books signed, and perhaps do some research and networking for future author visits to your library.
