Upcoming open forum for all library workers (public, school, academic, and special libraries) on Friday, March 12 at 1:00 pm. The official title of the forum is “Taking Stock: How We’re Doing a Year In.” For about an hour we’ll be talking about how we’re coping mentally and emotionally a year after the pandemic started to affect our work lives.
We’ve recruited an expert panel to kick off our discussion and address your questions, ideas, and concerns:
Dr. Susan Sobel is Director of the Counseling Center at UCA will discuss compassion fatigue.
Dr. Tim Atkinson is Director of Education, Internal Medicine at UAMS and a certified Koru Mindfulness Teacher who will discuss workplace stress and burnout, and how mindfulness can help.
Rev. Dr. Amanda Moore, former Library Director at Hendrix College, will talk about particular stressors library workers face and give advice from her experience as a service leader and administrator.
