Because joy fuels connection, creativity, & care in our communities. When librarians feel supported, they show up with their full selves, & that energy ripples outward.
Joy is not a distraction from work. It’s a powerful force that makes our work more meaningful, sustainable, & human.

Because “we’re like a family” shouldn’t be an excuse for poor boundaries. In many workplaces, it is used to justify overwork, guilt, and blurred lines between personal & professional time. Real families support rest, care, and mutual respect. Healthy teams do, too.
