The Central New York Library Resources Council is offering up to 20 seats in a new course, “Trauma-Informed and Relational Care for Libraries.” Up to 20 CLRC members will complete the course modules individually and as a group. Offering this opportunity is something new for us and we’re hoping it allows you, as our members, to dive deeper into new principles and transform the way you do your work, rather than spending only an hour with the topic.

Who couldn’t use a little more kindness in their day? But kindness is more than simply “being nice.” Research shows that kindness has physical, mental, and social benefits—and is essential for thriving workplaces. Through rigorous research, the nonprofit kindness.org has made a mission of creating evidence-based programs and tools to spread kindness in schools, workplaces, and everyday life.
