Can't wait for ThriveLib to start!

The longer we put off doing something we enjoy, the more likely we are to continue putting it off. The research suggests that it’s a cognitive “trap” we can fall into, where we are missing out on immediate happiness and enjoyment. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

When I registered for #ThriveLib2025 a few weeks ago, I was excited about the opening keynote by Fobazi Ettarh (who coined "vocational awe"). Fobazi has since faced a medical crisis and could use our help. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo... #libraries #BlackWomen #BlackWomenInLibraries #GoFundMe

I'm looking forward to ThriveLib 2025, a virtual conference focused on "reclaiming joy, balance, and boundaries in #libraries." Featuring keynote speakers, interactive sessions, and panel discussions, Aug 12, 13, and 14, via Zoom. www.thrivelib.com @thrivelib.bsky.social #ThriveLib #ThriveLib2025

Our thoughts are with Fobazi and her loved ones.

Because you shouldn’t have to burn out to prove you care. #ThriveLib25 is a virtual event for library folks who want more balance, more boundaries, and more joy. Aug 12–14. 12 speakers. 3 days of healing and real talk. thrivelib.heysummit.com #LibraryWorkers #publibs #medlibs #skybrarians

One week left to register for ThriveLib! Join us for a virtual conference focused on the well-being of librarians and library workers. This conference was created for librarians, library managers, and library workers who are ready to reimagine what well-being looks like in their professional lives.

We’re thrilled to welcome @fobettarh.bsky.social as the opening keynote for ThriveLib 2025. Join us as we kick off three days of reclaiming joy, balance, and boundaries in libraries with Fobazi’s inspiring keynote. www.thrivelib.com #thrivelib25 #publibs #medlibs #skybrarians 📚

Library workers give so much. But what happens when the giving goes unreciprocated? Join @nishamody.bsky.social for a powerful invitation to rehumanize yourself in your library work. www.thrivelib.com #ThriveLib25 #skybrarians #publibs #medlibs

What if kindness wasn’t just a nice idea, but a radical path to healing burnout? Join @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social for a session that invites us to reimagine library work through compassion, boundaries, and care. Let's shift how we treat ourselves and one another in the workplace. #thrivelib25

Libraries should be places of inclusion, belonging, and equity. That cannot happen without disability justice at the center. Register now at www.thrivelib.com #ThriveLib25 #DisabilityJustice #LibraryEquity #InclusiveLibraries #LibraryWellbeing

Middle managers are often caught in the middle, navigating expectations from above while trying to support their teams. But wellness does not have to get lost in the shuffle. www.thrivelib.com #ThriveLib25

Boundaries aren't barriers; they're building blocks for better workplace culture. Join Dr. Ariel Turner and Dr. Shamella Cromartie for a powerful conversation on how setting the tone with clear boundaries can lead to healthier teams, stronger communication, and more sustainable work. #ThriveLib25

Because joy fuels connection, creativity, & care in our communities. When librarians feel supported, they show up with their full selves, & that energy ripples outward. Joy is not a distraction from work. It’s a powerful force that makes our work more meaningful, sustainable, & human. #thrivelib25

Professional development isn't just about skills - it's a key part of workplace well-being. @doncrankshaw.bsky.social explores how libraries can build employee-centered PD programs that support growth, retention, & well-being, & how employees can advocate for their own needs, too. #ThriveLib25

Did you know? Every ThriveLib 2025 attendee will receive a certificate of completion for each session they attend - live or via recording. Can’t make it to a session in real time? No problem. You’ll have access to all recordings for 30 days after the event. www.thrivelib.com #thrivelib

"Joy isn’t happiness, and it isn’t a panacea for everything that bothers us in life. But what’s interesting is that research has found that these little moments of joy often have a halo effect, where their impact reaches beyond the moment of joy itself." aestheticsofjoy.com/why-the-secr...

Check out this interview from our board member and speaker @jjpionke.bsky.social

Because “we’re like a family” shouldn’t be an excuse for poor boundaries. In many workplaces, it is used to justify overwork, guilt, and blurred lines between personal & professional time. Real families support rest, care, and mutual respect. Healthy teams do, too. www.thrivelib.com #ThriveLib25

Too often, conversations about library work ignore body size and the impact of fatphobia in professional spaces. Join Meg Galasso at ThriveLib 2025 for Fatness, Belonging, and Solidarity in Library Work. www.thrivelib.com #ThriveLib25
