The meeting will feature a keynote presenter, continuing-education sessions, lightning talks, posters, and opportunities to socialize virtually with your librarian colleagues. One of the CE sessions is “Self-Care 101”, presented by Dawn Behrend, Instruction and Outreach Librarian at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina. The session will take place from 8:30 to 11:30 AM CDT on Friday, September 9. Note that the session does not carry any MLA CE credit. Please see below for a description.
Librarianship can be stressful! With shrinking budgets, challenging patron behaviors, and co-worker conflicts, librarians often find themselves faced with workplace stressors they never anticipated. Second-career librarian, Dawn Behrend, is a master’s level clinical psychologist and will share tips for librarians to engage in self-care to thrive in their chosen profession.
