Promotional graphic for Well-Being in the Library Workplace: A Handbook for Managers, edited by Bobbi L. Newman. The cover features illustrations of pink, white, and yellow flowers on a green background. Next to the book is a quote from Library Journal: “This important work should be part of every supervisor’s toolkit to help improve their own management skills, empower their staff, and promote a robust, responsive workplace culture.” The American Library Association (ALA) logo appears in the top right corner.
