Hi, Everyone,
I’m forwarding the information below as an FYI.
I also wanted to share this information as well:

The Homeless Training Institute is now available to all NJ library staff statewide!
This is an online training program designed to equip library staff with the tools that they need to serve their community’s homeless population with compassion and confidence.
Created by Ryan Dowd, author of the American Library Association (ALA) book, Librarian’s Guide to Homelessness, the series will teach practical skills to navigate a wide range of issues facing homeless individuals, including mental health awareness. The course will guide library staff on how to ensure the safety and comfort of all library visitors.
The State Library is able to make this training available to all library staff members throughout New Jersey through ARPA funding. We encourage you to participate in this webinar-based training at no cost to you!
