SCELC partners with peer library consortia around the country to form the Professional Development Alliance (PDA)! The PDA is dedicated to sharing our professional development opportunities with other alliance members. This new initiative multiplies the number and variety of online professional development opportunities available to the member libraries of each participating consortium. PDA webinars are freely available to librarians and staff at all SCELC Member and Affiliate Institutions.

Session Details:

In the last two years, libraries have had to evolve with the changing needs of patrons and the challenges brought on by a global pandemic. It has led to upheavals in organizational structures from retirements, resignations, and new hires. Many library workers are being asked to do more with less and take on multiple roles. How do both management and library workers create an environment that supports mental health? 

Sessions:
  • Beyond Bubble Baths: Addressing Burnout and Demotivation, Sarah Steiner, Western Carolina University

  • Self-Care 101 for Library Leaders: Managing Stress, Battling Burnout and Vicarious Trauma, and Promoting Mental Health for You and Your Staff, Dawn Behrend, Lenoir-Rhyne University
