SUMMARY:Bridges to Your Community: Tools for the Good Life
DESCRIPTION:PART OF ARSL CONFERENCE: \n\n\n\nVirtually given.  \n\n\n\nFind out how this panel of small and rural librarians from across the country used a set of tools created by other small rural librarians to enhance the good life in their communities\, and how you can too! The tools are based on findings from the Rural Library and Social Wellbeing research project. It found that little libraries have a big impact on the good life in ways that are beautifully unique to small rural libraries.

SUMMARY:Facilitating Community Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:PART OF THE ARSL CONFERENCE: \n\n\n\nMuch can be learned from how rural libraries foster the good life in their communities. Some of this happens naturally. However\, bringing awareness to our library service and then making some intentional shifts can elevate the library’s impact. In this session we will explore the multi-faceted wellbeing indicators present in rural communities and the role libraries play in increasing them. In a series of exercises\, participants will reflect on their own communities and libraries. They will develop a plan to make some small but impactful changes.  A toolkit that can be used after the session\, will give participants resources to continue this reflective practice. \n\n\n\nHope Decker\, Director\, Wayland Free Library\, NY
