Outreach Roundtable

Understanding Capacity for Outreach and Burnout Prevention

 Whether you’re a solo librarian juggling multiple hats or part of a large outreach team, this session will offer practical strategies and fresh perspectives to help you thrive. Together, we’ll explore how leveraging your library’s mission can help set clear priorities and avoid overextension.

We’ll also dive into burnout prevention techniques that are both realistic and effective; and how you can use assessment tools to help determine the true value and impact of outreach, guiding smarter decisions and better balance. This is your opportunity to connect with fellow librarians, share experiences, and walk away with tools you can use to not only protect your own well-being, but to ensure your outreach efforts are both impactful and sustainable.
