"As an activist, community organizer and social worker, Farzana has preached #selfcare to hundreds of people struggling with #burnout and #exhaustion. But for years, she couldn’t manage to take her own advice. She knew many other helpers and activists were the same: they struggled to escape the cycle of overwork, being overwhelmed, and recovering. 52 Weeks to a Sweeter Life is a workbook that speaks directly to these people — and anyone struggling to pause, set boundaries and center their needs." Register to attend and meet Farzana Doctor on Thursday, September 26, 6-7:30pm at Central Library. https://lnkd.in/ghVrjRh8 Presented in partnership with the Cancer Assistance Program. #HamOnt #authortalk #authorevent #libraries #librariestransform

Members brought in their treasured goods for fixing at Saturday's Repair Cafe at Central Library. The smiles say it all - they were able to save their items from the landfill by giving them a second life. www.hpl.ca/events #HamOnt #repaircafe #repairs #skills #libraries #librariestransform
