Adult Programming Roundtable
Self-Care, Burnout, and Mocktails
Who’s feeling the burnout? Join us at this Self-Care themed roundtable, open to all library staff who are feeling the burn. We’ll talk about how to manage programming burnout while also offering a robust program calendar, how to build down time into your calendar to provide the space needed to recover, and how to discuss this with your supervisor and/or director.
As a fun bonus, we’ll have mocktails!
Audience
This roundtable is open to all, even if you do not plan adult programs.
