Librarians - free online education from the NNLM - Wellness in the Library Workplace
As a library worker, what are you doing to
manage your own well-being? Individual and community well-being are
inherently connected. Thus, it is critical that workplaces be an area of
wellness for their employees. Join us to discover ways to improve your
own personal well-being and create a healthy workplace.
If you are a
supervisor, how are you helping to ensure your staff stays healthy
(physically, emotionally, etc.)? We will also discuss ways to increase
overall wellness for all staff in libraries so that we have happy,
healthy and safe work environments.
In this 2-week 4-CE online course participants will explore the aspects
of a healthy workplace including physical, mental, and emotional
components...

Behold the Earth - sustainability film screening tonight, Thurs 2/28/2019
Message from Sarah Dorsey about a Sustainability Film and Discussion event this evening -
We will be screening Behold The Earth at 6:30 this Thursday, February 28 in the Sullivan Science Building, Room 101.
About the film:
Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring invigorated
the U.S. environmental movement in the 1960s, inspiring rising young
scientists like Pulitzer Prize winner E.O. Wilson, Cal DeWitt, and Theo
Colborn. Many of these scientists were also raised as evangelicals, part
of America’s most influential faith community of the last 75 years.
Today, a new generation of scientists and evangelicals are coming of
age—people like Katharine Hayhoe, Ben Lowe, and Corina Newsome. Can
these emerging leaders reduce the human degradations of our earth? Can
they revive the reach and relevance of America’s evangelical and
environmental movements? Film director and conservationist David Conover
began this film 12 years ago as an inquiry into America’s divorce from
the outdoors. Four time Grammy-award winning musician Dirk Powell leads
arrangements of traditional American tunes and hymns, with Rhiannon
Giddens and Tim Eriksen, and Dirk’s daughters Sophie and Amelia.
Leading our post screening discussion will be Rev. Audra Abt, Missionary Vicar, Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit (and) North Greensboro Mission Developer.
