“Moving Health and Wellness Online at Your Library” in ‘Pivoting during the Pandemic: Ideas for Serving Your Community Anytime, Anywhere’ from ALA Press

Looking back on the last year, and by year I mean since March 2020, I am amazed at what I have and have not accomplished. I missed the deadline for The book I was so excited to write. I have struggled to focus and feel motivated to write, even on something that was is very important to me, and is arguably more important than even to the library community.

In addition to sewing and donating over 800 masks to hospitals, senior care facilities, day cares, and my friends and neighbors between March and August, I also managed to do some work related things.

I contributed to this important book from ALA editions on providing virtual services during the pandemic Pivoting during the Pandemic: Ideas for Serving Your Community Anytime, Anywhere edited by (PLA)Kathleen M. HughesJamie Santoro.
