Description:

Increasing recognition of the need to support both user and staff mental health and wellbeing has led libraries to develop new services, spaces and roles. In many ways the issues are the same across sectors. This event brings together librarians working in NHS and Universities in the North of England to share best practices. Presentations will be combined with opportunities to share experiences, issues, and solutions.
