Librarianship, along with other public service and care professions, is facing a self-care crisis. While all levels of a library’s organizational chart are susceptible to burn-out in our challenging climate, a significant pressure is placed on managers to look out for their employees and hold everything together. This workshop is designed to assist library leaders who are struggling with burn-out, harsh inner critics and imposter syndrome. The workshop will be a mini-retreat wherein the participants will engage in facilitated conversations, journaling, and guided meditations to develop compassion for themselves and build resiliency in community with other library managers.
