<span style="color:black">For OLA this year Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney and I are doing a presentation on Emotional Labor and Mental Load in Librarianship. We’re currently looking for some personal experiences from librarians and library workers around the state
on the impact of both</span><a href="https://study.com/academy/lesson/emotional-labor-arlie-hochschilds-definition-theories.html"><span style="color:#1155CC"> emotional labor

</span></a><span style="color:black">in library work. We’re also looking for stories of resilience building on an organizational level. If you have something you’d like to share please do so
<a href="https://goo.gl/forms/Ns3ktysqPLyQ52Uk1">via this survey.</a> You can be anonymous if you’d like, but please remember this isn’t a chance to vent! We want actual usable examples we may use in our presentation to highlight the impact in libraries and
what we can do as individuals and as organizational members to help each other out.
