This is the first meeting of the Mental Health Resources Roundtable. We need all library departments to be part of this effort, as mental health challenges are experienced by and impact people of all ages, in every community. Going forward I plan to hold this meeting three times a year, seeking feedback from all library staff, including librarians, clerical, custodial and security staff, as everyone in the library will encounter a situation and have valuable feedback to share.
