Our first Library 2.023 mini-conference: "*Mental Health and Wellness:
Library Workers Thriving in Uncertain Times*," will be held online (and for
free) on Tuesday, April 4th, 2022, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm US-Pacific Time.

Libraries have the power to help transform lives, both for staff and
patrons, through efforts that promote mental health and wellness. In this
Library 2.0 mini-conference, we will focus specifically on helping library
workers thrive in our current uncertain and complex times. We will also
explore the “opportunity to reimagine our futures, to renew and adapt our
institutions and to craft new stories about who we are and what we
value” (United
Nations' Human Development Report 2021/2022
<https://www.undp.org/thailand/publications/human-development-report-2021-22>
).

Our special conference chair is *Loida Garcia-Febo* who, as past president
of the American Library Association, focused on workplace wellness areas
including continuing education, creating a positive work environment,
unions, gender equity, pay equity, and other activities designed to improve
the salaries and status of library professionals. We are encouraging
conference session submissions that focus on programs and initiatives
supporting staff, team, leadership, and organizational health and wellness.
Examples of topics that are encouraged include the following, but other
related submissions are also welcome:

   - staff burnout;
   - trauma support;
   - mindfulness practices;
   - civility in ideologically or culturally polarized environments;
   - quality of work-life;
   - the “8 Elements of Wellness” defined by ALA-APA: Emotional,
   Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Spiritual,
   and Social (https://ala-apa.org/wellness).

We look forward to gathering online with you for this event!
