Webinar: Igniting the Brain: How Neuroarts Can Transform Your Library and Your Well‑Being

Originally presented April 15, 2026

What do neuroscience, libraries, and the arts have in common? Join Rebecca Hass and Steve Mangum in this webinar introducing the growing field of neuroarts—where neuroscience meets creativity and recognizes how creative artistic experiences shape the brain, reduce stress, strengthen social connection, and support lifelong learning. 

In a time when many library workers face high workloads, emotional labor, and rising community needs, neuroarts offers evidence‑based approaches to support staff well‑being and prevent burnout. You’ll learn how creative practices can regulate the nervous system, replenish emotional reserves, and create space for joy and resilience in the workplace.
