Core Webinar: SOS for Library Professionals

CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "SOS for Library Professionals" on October 21, 2025, at 1 p.m. CT. The creation of a compassionate library ecosystem requires librarians, paraprofessionals, and supervisors to work in tandem to ensure that the workplace environment incorporates collegiality, self-care, and an acknowledgement of personal difference that allows all employees to operate within a sphere of safety. Incorporating compassionate and respectful practices into everyday interactions is only the beginning; the process also includes empowering employees to engage in activities that reflect their value, support and celebrate individual differences, and provide opportunities for healthy disagreement.
