The 2 Minutes to Success video, Dealing with Overload and Burnout is a powerful reminder that sometimes we don’t need more time…we just need a better way to manage what’s already on our plate. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of doing everything for everyone - until suddenly, we’re running on empty.  Burnout doesn’t always hit like a storm; sometimes it creeps in quietly through stress, fatigue, and that constant feeling of being behind.   a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } Set yourself up for long-term success.  Gift yourself the 2 minutes needed to watch the video for help on prioritizing your responsibilities and caring for yourself along the way.  For more resources on well-being, visit our library guides Living Your Best Life or Coping with the Hard Things.  Check out our guides on Business or Business Operations for more recomme...

Darkly funny, moving, and ultimately uplifting, I See You’ve Called in Dead follows obituary writer Bud Stanley as he accidentally publishes his own obituary and begins attending strangers’ funerals to rediscover what it means to truly live. Praised as “razor-sharp, darkly comedic, and emotionally piercing,” the novel has become a favorite among readers and critics alike. Obituary writer Bud Stanley isn’t really living his best life. He’s fallen into a funk after a divorce. (She left him for another man, who, in fairness, was far more interesting.) He’s not doing his job well. He’s given up on dating. And he’s about to be fired for accidentally publishing his own obituary one mildly drunken night (though technically the company can’t legally fire a dead person). As Bud awaits his fate at work, he does the only logical thing: He goes to the wakes and funerals of total strangers to learn how to live again.

The Librarians, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. The Librarians is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.
