SUMMARY:Wellness First: Back-to-School Strategies for School Librarians (ALA/AASL)
DESCRIPTION:As the new school year begins\, school librarians face evolving 
 responsibilities\, rising expectations\, and the emotional demands of 
 serving as both educators and trusted supporters for students. In this 
 masterclass\, wellness advocate and ALA Past President\, Loida 
 Garcia-Febo\, draws on her own career beginnings as a school librarian to 
 share practical\, sustainable strategies to protect your well-being\, 
 strengthen your resilience\, and reconnect with your purpose. Together\, 
 we’ll explore what wellness really means in the school library context\, 
 how to recognize the signs of burnout and compassion fatigue\, and how to 
 set healthy boundaries that honor both your students and you. You’ll also 
 gain realistic self-care practices that fit into busy school days\, along 
 with reflective exercises to align your daily work with your core values. 
 By the end of this session\, you’ll leave with actionable tools to 
 safeguard your energy\, maintain professional integrity\, and start the 
 school year with strength\, balance\, and renewed purpose\n\nJoin Meeting:
