During the past several months, librarians have experienced an ongoing
series of polarizing, emotionally charged attempts to censor reading
materials. These book challenges-which sometimes come with threats or
intimidation-may target individual library staff members, and the emotional
fallout can be devastating.

 ALA is committed to both defending the constitutional rights of all
individuals of all ages to use the resources and services of libraries as
well as supporting library employees as they navigate the emotional fallout
that comes with being caught in the middle of tense community backlash.

 *ALA members can enroll in this complimentary 90-minute webinar on
December 15th to help you engage in self-care and prioritize your mental
health amidst this threat to the freedom to read. *

 Join Valerie Karno, J.D., Ph.D. and Dr. Lana Benedek, M.D., for an
interactive event focused on rejuvenation and restoration. The instructors
will offer strategies for finding resilience, as well as leading
participants in a deep relaxation experience. You'll leave this webinar
with tools for managing your mental health as you continue to serve your
community.

 Participants in this event will learn:

   - Strategies for coping with interpersonal conflict
   - A technique for cultivating relaxation and joy amidst struggle
   - Ideas for individual self-care in the physical, emotional,
   environmental, intellectual, and relational domains
