Stressed out? Whether you’re knotted up over work, the holidays or politics, it seems like there’s plenty to bring on tension headaches this time of year. Well, a new year calls for new habits. Join us to learn some quick, easy movements that will have you feeling better without ever leaving your workstation (or the circulation desk, or the community room).
Join Jenn Carson (librarian, Programming Librarian blogger and creator of YogaintheLibrary.com) as she teaches you how to de-stress at your desk, maintain proper posture, avoid injury and regulate your emotions through breathing and stretching exercises. Participants will learn an easy self-care routine that will help to reduce stress at work and leave you feeling recharged. No experience necessary. Participants will leave with digital downloads to help them remember what they learned.

Library staff are expected to embrace technology advancements and keep their skills sharp and their libraries relevant. But what about library boards—how tech savvy are your trustees? The more that trustees are dialed into a personal use of technology, the better advocates they will be for the library’s technology needs. Learn some fun and practical ways to inspire greater tech savviness in your trustees. You don’t need a board of IT specialists, just a board that has a sharper set of digital tools.
This webinar, hosted by WebJunction in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries, is an encore presentation of a session presented at the 2016 ARSL conference.
