Wellness and Our Work 
May 18 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Registration and program details
Wellness, including mental, physical, social, financial, environmental, and vocational, can be challenging to achieve. Ettarh’s (2018) description of vocational awe is a warning to the modern library worker not to conflate the importance of one’s profession and the joy of work with overall wellness and meaning in one’s life. Librarians often overstate the importance of their vocation, describing it as a calling “because the sacred duties of freedom, information, and service are so momentous.” Which leads us to ask – How does our work in libraries impact our wellness? How can we center wellness in our interactions with colleagues? Patrons? Local communities? How do library spaces contribute to wellness?
