<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We’ve recently started the certification process here in Ames, Iowa, and are looking forward to hearing from other libraries and maybe finding some answers to our questions.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A couple things that might be useful to other libraries:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To help organize our SLCP tasks we made an Excel spreadsheet with all the action items (from the Action Item Form) on it, as well as spaces for notes about how long each might take, who we
might need to contact, and who’s taking point on each task. We can share that document if anyone else would find it helpful!</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On the wellness/resilience side of things, we have “plank time” at noon every day. Mostly attended by staff with desk jobs (marketing, tech services), it’s a great way to get up and get moving.
We do 2 minutes of plank or alternate activity, 5 minutes of mobility exercise, and 10 additional minutes of weight work. It has evolved over the years based on what we find helpful and has been shaped by our city fitness challenges.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are curious about which Midwest libraries have finished certification or are in the process, we’d love to swap stories.</span></p>
