Kindness as Strategy: Helen Rimmer on Well‑Being for School Librarians
Description
Helen Rimmer joins us in this episode to discuss the pressures facing school librarians, including isolation, expanding workloads, and compassion fatigue, and how kindness, clear boundaries, and self-care are professional strengths that enhance wellbeing and effectiveness.
We explore practical approaches to advocacy, creating inclusive, safe library spaces, and examples of lightening teachers’ loads. Helen also introduces Empower: The Library Collective, a cross‑sector training community offering webinars and resources to help librarians grow skills and connect.
