Doing Less as a Librarian

As librarians, it's our tendency to add tasks to our daily schedule... monitoring RSS feeds, watching the latest authors on YouTube, and blogging about picture books. What are we dropping from our schedule to make time for these new duties? Will it negatively affect our abilities as librarians? Librarian Colleen Angel will explore ways to identify and reduce or eliminate low impact chores. If you've trimmed something from your schedule, bring your story along to share.

Meditation

Following the presentation, Colleen will guide us on a meditation focusing on "letting go" in order to make our lives more purposeful and less hectic.
