Moving Towards Holistic Healing in Libraries
Online/Virtual Event

Prioritizing well-being is a priority right now. By tending to ourselves, we give our brains reprieve so we can be more present in meetings, relationships, and decision-making. This also allows us to be more equipped to show up for the hard and messy work that is advancing social justice. In the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of disciplines and organizations interested in applying a “trauma-informed” lens. While being trauma-informed is important, it is only a starting point. In this webinar social work scholar Ozy Aloziem, MSW discusses why we must move past simply being trauma-informed toward actively promoting holistic and collective healing.
Viewers will learn:
How to distinguish between different types of trauma
About the impacts of race-based stress and trauma in the workplace

Presently, her research is centered around healing-centered organizational cultures, historical trauma, shared trauma, radical healing, and radical imagination.

Mythbusters! Preservation Edition, Part 2
Online/Virtual Event
Tuesday, July 26th 2022 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Myth #2: “The perfect temperature and relative humidity for collections is 70ºF and 50% RH.”
Back in the early years of the preservation profession, there was the 70/50 Rule: your space temperature had to be 70 degrees and 50% relative humidity, with no deviation from those set points. Nowadays, there is no perfect set of numbers that will create the ideal climate for your collections – it is about knowing your building, HVAC systems, collections, and space use. One also needs to consider reducing energy consumption and sustainability. In this webinar, you will learn about how to determine the best environment for your collections, troubleshoot common problems with temperature and relative humidity control in spaces, and helpful hints for sustainability in climate control.
