Participating in an interview study about libraries and mental health services for emerging adults

[ALAO Public Relations Coordinator]

This interview study intends to learn current practices of public and academic libraries in providing mental health-related support to patrons, particularly emerging adults (aged 18-29) to shed light on how libraries, as information and community hubs, can better support this age group’s mental health help-seeking needs.

Qualifications for participation
You are candidly invited to participate in the interview if you:
- work in a public or academic library in the U.S.,
- and have experience in developing, working on, supervising, or evaluating any library programs and services related to mental health

The interview will last about 1-1.5 hour and will take place on Zoom or in person upon request. Upon completion, you will receive a $35 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation.
