SCLA’s Virtual Trivia Afternoon

Posted onAuthorsingram

Hi Everyone,
We miss you! At our last SCLA executive board meeting, we had a long discussion about networking night and what to do.  Since a traditional networking night is out of the question this year, we thought it would be fun to get together in a non-traditional way, so we put together a trivia afternoon.  A chance to see our library friends and get those competitive juices flowing!
Test your knowledge, grab your favorite snacks and have some fun from home! After registering, you will be emailed a link to join the event.  Click here to register!  We look forward to seeing you!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me individually.

Making Space for Self: Wellness Between Service and Productivity

Posted onAuthorsingram

Hello all,
The SCLA Health Concerns Committee is proud to cosponsor along this program along with LILRC, Making Space for Self: Wellness Between Service and Productivity.
In the beginning of this pandemic, we all knew who to look toward for scientific guidance. Now, we are looking for ways to focus our mental health, prioritize our self, and learn to cope with “new normals.” This will be the focus of our committee at this time.
We hope that you will register and join us for this important topic.
All information can be found here: https://www.lilrc.org/event-3490931
We will get through this together.
Regards,
Sal & SCLA Health Concerns Committee
