Event Description
Libraries are at the heart of their communities as educators and a primary resource in programming and services and a refuge to the people they serve. However, the attitudes that come with it puts pressure on a library to do everything and be everything, putting a strain on expectations of the humans that run it. Unspoken expectations reinforce the idea that libraries are expected to handle everything, therefore end up being glorified security guards, babysitters, social workers, and frontline staff. Burnout is inevitable if you don’t learn how to cope with undue stress. This webinar will enforce learning how to set boundaries so that you can focus on the qualities that made you come into the profession. Discover ways to avoid burn out, refocus your role, and give yourself permission to step back.
