 2-Week Online Course + Workshop

 This course is relevant for any library worker experiencing burnout.
About This CourseLearn how to create work practices that support resilience and recovery from burnout. Live sessions via Zoom: Library worker burnout is at an all-time high, and many systemic and stackable issues contribute to stress and burnout. Library workers often need to support distressed patrons while also navigating their own challenges. With this in mind, this course will address questions such as: How do you support yourself and your team even and especially when the cause of burnout is out of your direct control? How can you identify what’s causing burnout and advocate for the resources you or your team need to help build resilience? And what are ways you can create positive impact within your sphere of influence? This two-week, online course will take a deep dive into teaching you how to take care of your own needs while supporting your communities and fulfilling your job requirements. We will discuss and acknowledge the systemic causes of burnout and will provide robust resources and tangible tools for current healing and future proactive burnout prevention. The live sessions run on Thursdays, Sept. 25 and Oct. 2, 2025 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm ET (recorded for on demand viewing) with an ongoing facilitator-led workshop over 2 weeks.
