Abstract

If you’re sleeping but still exhausted, the problem may not be fatigue; it may be unmet rest needs. Library work involves constant interaction, decision-making, emotional regulation, and ethical navigation. This session explores the seven types of rest and how they show up in everyday library roles. Attendees will gain tools to identify what kind of rest they are missing and learn practical strategies, both personal and organizational, to reduce chronic depletion.
