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.
