<a href="http://ctfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Pinwheels-for-Prevention-Library-Proposal-Final.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal">In 2012 public library staff in Oregon became mandatory reporters. I think it’s been a couple years since information and resources about it has been shared on the listservs. This may also be a good time to talk with your library director
about what your library is doing in regards to mandatory reporting. <a href="http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/pipermail/libs-or/attachments/20120927/566c3b66/attachment.html">
Here is one of the original communications</a> about what libraries can do about mandatory reporting in case you need to jog your memory.
