As some of you may know, we were not able to begin a 2021 New Supervisor’s Academy or a 2021 Leadership Academy due to the pandemic. Participants of the 2020 Academies will complete their programming during 2021. However, we have had a variety of inquiries regarding both Academies and as a result, I want to reassure you that both will return in 2022. In the meantime, if you or someone you work with is interested in completing some of the management professional development that we offer, here is a list of recommended webinar opportunities:

From the State Library
| The College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland has just published “Library Staff as Public Servants: A Field Guide for Preparing to Support Communities in Crisis.” This 30-page field guide is the result of a project on reimagining youth services during crises, led by Mega Subramaniam at UMd and consultant Linda Braun, with input from over 130 public library workers. In the summer of 2020, the project team studied how public libraries are supporting their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and in a time of increased civic unrest resulting from the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and Dion Johnson. |

Support from the First Lady of the State of Ohio
The Tween Cooking Club at Rocky River Public Library meet via Zoom and prepared a recipe together. This past month they made First Lady Fran DeWine's recipe, "Becky's Brownies," named after one of her daughters. It's a super easy microwave recipe. They invited the First Lady to drop into their class to say hello. She in turn created an entire cooking demonstration for the library. In the video she also promoted Ohio's Imagination Library and encouraged youth to create and write their own cookbooks with their families like she has with hers. Rocky River Public Library wanted to share this video with other libraries due to its success.
