CMLE Stress-Busting Resources (including comfort reads)

There’s a lot of uncertainty happening right now and that always causes stress. If you need some strategies for managing your stress, CMLE is here to help.

First, Mary has created this list of ALL our online resources you can access FOR FREE! Online classes, daily activities, reading challenges and more. Check it out!

Next, we have three different podcast episodes all about various ways to handle stress:

Plus, you can explore all our Stress Management posts to get strategies for reducing stress, including suggestions for audio and meditation tools.

And what’s a better way to de-stress than with a little reading? Personally, I’m loving Mary H.K. Choi, Jenny Han, and Jane Austen (plus some Schitt’s Creek viewing) but it’s always good to have lots of reading choices:

  • In this article from the NYT, bestselling authors recommend their favorite comfort reads
  • This article from the Guardian includes some darker titles but I’m sure they will be very distracting!
  • This post from Book Barmy recommends some great comfort read authors

CMLE is thinking of you and sending everyone safe and healthy thoughts ❤

Chat with other ClassVR Users in our Google Groups

Woohoo!

Sharing ClassVR headset devices has been the best start to our school year! Find more resources and information about this program here.

It’s been really wonderful to hear back from our school members that have been using the devices. Keep up the great work!! And thank you for the pictures!! 🎉🎉📷

If you haven’t had the devices yet at your school, or are unsure about how others have been using them in their curriculum, we invite you to join our Google Groups. We have two groups available and hope that you will be able to connect with each other for general VR discussion and also to share/solve tech issues and solutions.

Email us at admin @ cmle.org (no spaces) and we will invite you to join the groups, otherwise you can request membership below:

If you have any questions specifically related to VR, please email vr @ cmle.org (no spaces) and we will do our best to help! These devices are new to us too, so we are also in the process of learning how they work.

This program is funded in part with a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education using federal funding, CFDA 45.310 – Library Services and Technology Act, Grants to States Program (LS-00-19-0024-19).

CMLE Service: Continuing Education and Grants calendars!

< - Information
Learn about opportunities!

Looking for a one-stop shop to plan out some professional development in the upcoming months, or begin work on some grant applications?

The CMLE website is here to help with that! We have our Continuing Education page, which features a Google calendar that is updated daily with new learning opportunities. Most of the events on the calendar are webinars or online courses, and yes, some are free! We also have links to organizations like Library Juice and the AASL’s eAcademy that offer their own training and development opportunities.

Our Grant page features both a Google calendar that is regularly updated and also a list of grants that breaks them down individually in more detail. We know that library budgets are tight, and it can be a challenge to run a library or media center on a small budget. Check out some of the grants or awards to see if they could be useful to you!

If you have questions about any of the Continuing Education or Grant items, or need some help applying for an award or grant, don’t hesitate to contact us! We are here to support you!
