A Note from the Executive Director, Betsy Lantz

It is often difficult to deal with the day to day situations that confront us in our jobs and lives without the added layers of stress and uncertainty that we have been undergoing during the past three months.  Even as it feels like a positive to move back out into the world and into our libraries, it also feels like we are exchanging the current stressors for new ones, especially in light of the ongoing nature of the pandemic, the death of George Floyd, and the subsequent civil unrest occurring nationwide.  It is clear we are in a period of sustained flux and upheaval.  For this reason, we challenged one of our most popular and respected presenters, Marti Peden, to create a participatory and interactive, two hour webinar entitled, Navigating through Times of Transition <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo_responsive.php?eventid=57742&org_id=NEOL> .  As always, Marti has delivered.  On July 9th , Marti will help us look at ways of moving forward in periods of uncertainty, such as those we are experiencing, and will teach us how to handle times of great change with less disruption.  She will provide tips to reduce the stress caused by change and ambiguity.  I know that I am looking forward to hearing what Marti has to say and I hope you will join me.  The better equipped we are to deal with our own stress, the better able we are to respond to the situations that await us.  Hang in there, enjoy your week and stay well!

The news is everywhere about the aging of America and our changing population.  Aging affects the individual, the family, and the community. What does this mean for you and your library?  Come hear the latest research and learn about trends in this worldwide phenomenon.  We'll ponder how libraries are being impacted in multiple ways and you'll have an opportunity to contribute to our collective wisdom.  How can we respond to this seismic shift?  How can we utilize the expertise inherent in an older population?  How can libraries best serve this diverse and growing segment of our society?  How can we partner with other community organizations to expand our reach and impact?  Join us for this fast-paced hour and leave with proven programs and successful strategies as well as a new appreciation for your own aging process!
