We all know that children learn through play, but what about adults? Research shows that when humans, at any age, play, they learn and grow into healthy, happy, well-functioning individuals. Indeed, embedding playful work techniques into your day can lead to greater creativity, productivity, and resilience in you and your library. And knowing others’ play styles will help build better teams, improve collaborative work, and create a more enjoyable work culture. Join us for this lively, interactive, and fun session, as we delve into the research on play, identify your play style, and explore ways to add more play into your work.
Outcomes: After this workshop, participants will:
- Understand how play enhances work
- Have clarity on their preferred play style, as well as recognize others’ play styles
- Have a plan for at least three ways to embed play into their everyday work
- Be ready to spread play in the library and community
