ThriveLib is a space to: Acknowledge the realities of burnout, stress, & invisible labor in libraries. Explore practical tools for psychological safety, boundary-setting, & collective care. Connect with a community committed to supporting each other and transforming the culture of library work.

Library workers are often expected to give endlessly of their time, energy, compassion, and labor while navigating under-resourced environments and increasing community demands. But sustainability is not just about budgets or buildings. It is about people.

Across public, academic, school, and special libraries, staff are experiencing rising rates of burnout, moral injury, and disconnection. ThriveLib was born out of the need for space, support, and strategies that prioritize the well-being of those who sustain our libraries every day.

Libraries should be places of inclusion, belonging, and equity. That cannot happen without disability justice at the center.

Middle managers are often caught in the middle, navigating expectations from above while trying to support their teams. But wellness does not have to get lost in the shuffle.

Boundaries aren't barriers; they're building blocks for better workplace culture.
Join Dr. Ariel Turner and Dr. Shamella Cromartie for a powerful conversation on how setting the tone with clear boundaries can lead to healthier teams, stronger communication, and more sustainable work.

Because joy fuels connection, creativity, & care in our communities. When librarians feel supported, they show up with their full selves, & that energy ripples outward.
Joy is not a distraction from work. It’s a powerful force that makes our work more meaningful, sustainable, & human.

Professional development isn't just about skills - it's a key part of workplace well-being.
@doncrankshaw.bsky.social
explores how libraries can build employee-centered PD programs that support growth, retention, & well-being, & how employees can advocate for their own needs, too.
