Abstract

ABSTRACT Libraries can support the wellbeing of their visitors through wellness collections of resources and mindfulness programming but can also offer wellness in their spaces. The project team pursued multiple internal-grant funded initiatives to support visitor wellbeing through new equipment. One phase of the program introduced desk treadmills, and the other introduced a freestanding cell phone-charging locker, with assessments planned to determine how effective visitors feel these new features are at improving their wellbeing. The new equipment would allow students studying for long hours an opportunity to increase physical activity and take a break from distracting technology, increasing mindfulness, focus, and productivity.
