About this event
Academic libraries can be associated with stress, deadlines, and research, which can heighten anxiety and deter student library engagement. Explore how non-academic programming such as crafting, mindfulness activities, creative workshops, etc. can serve as tools to reduce library-related anxiety and foster a welcoming environment. The presenters will share practical strategies for planning, promoting, and assessing events that invite students to connect with the library in non-academic ways.
