Working in libraries means holding a lot. You're supporting patrons with diverse needs, managing competing demands, navigating interruptions, and showing up with patience and care, even when the day feels overwhelming.
In this interactive session, participants will explore what overwhelm actually is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it can be so hard to stay grounded in high-demand moments. Rather than pushing through or shutting down, we’ll focus on practical ways to notice overwhelm earlier and respond with intention.
Through reflection and simple, in-the-moment strategies, participants will build awareness of their personal stress signals and learn how to reset without stepping away from their responsibilities. Because in environments where everything is happening at once, the ability to steady yourself isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
