91´«Ã½

CHICAGO — To acknowledge the fact that library staff are our greatest asset in building and supporting sustainable libraries and communities, the 91´«Ã½ Sustainability Roundtable (SustainRT) is recognizing libraries that go above and beyond in meeting the wellness needs of their staff with the SustainRT Citation for Wellness in the Workplace.

All 91´«Ã½ members are invited to that has made efforts to meet the needs of their staff in the areas of continuing education, wellness, positive work environment, unions, salaries, gender equity, pay equity initiatives, and other activities designed to improve the salaries and status of librarians and other library workers.

The 2021 Citation was awarded to the Westerville Public Library for their work in addressing pay equity to provide a living wage to all library staff. The SustainRT Citation for Wellness in the Workplace was initiated by 91´«Ã½ past president Loida Garcia-Ferbo in 2019 as the 91´«Ã½ Presidential Citation for Wellness in the Workplace and the Sustainability Round Table continues that legacy of recognition. SustainRT will honor the winning library or organization with a plaque recognizing their efforts to promote wellness during the 91´«Ã½ (91´«Ã½) 2022 Annual Conference at the SustainRT Membership Meeting.
