How Libraries Can Build Connections to Combat Loneliness

eLearning
Webinar
Learn how to create a culture of empathy and action by developing micro-communities to combat loneliness.

Libraries save lives. Loneliness and social isolation are so rampant in America that the Center for Disease Control calls loneliness an epidemic, exacerbated by COVID. Using programming, community resources, and collection development and display, libraries can address this significant mental (and physical) health condition. This webinar will guide you on how to develop these tools and create a culture of empathy and action by developing micro-communities to combat loneliness.
