Of Interest to Youth Services

The Ohio Department of Education has announced legislative changes to Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Under these changes, for the 2020-2021 school year, students should not be retained for not meeting the promotion score or reading subscore on Ohio’s State Test for grade 3 English language arts unless the child’s principal and reading teacher decide otherwise.

Summer Reading:
Ohio-based storyteller and author Lindsay Bonilla sent this this link to a brief video in which she describes the programs she has available for Ohio libraries this summer.

A few weeks ago, Janet Ingraham Dwyer shared the new publication “Library Staff as Public Servants: A Field Guide for Preparing to Support Communities in Crisis” (learn more and download here: https://yxlab.ischool.umd.edu/projects/reimagining-youth-services-during-crises). The creators are presenting a webinar later this month:

What’s Essential When Serving Youth and Families in Crisis Times?
Tuesday, March 23, Noon ET

In the summer of 2020, 137 library staff from across the U.S. participated in a co-design process focused on how public libraries can serve non-dominant youth and families during times of crisis. This work led to the publication of a Field Guide designed to help public library staff prepare for crises by carrying out four essential tasks: learning about community, co-creating with community, assessing and iterating with community, and designing structures for community. In this webinar, the facilitators of the co-design work, Dr. Mega Subramaniam and Linda W. Braun, will discuss what they learned about how libraries have been responding to current and past crises. They will explain the essential tasks library staff must engage in order to serve their communities successfully during times of crisis and prepare for crises that may occur in the future. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions about the Field Guide and the steps libraries should take to successfully serve their communities before, during, and after emergencies.
