Supporting Student Wellbeing and Holistic Success: A Public Services Approach

摘要

Libraries can supplement traditional student success initiatives with a range of nontraditional programs that support students' holistic wellbeing, including services that address financial barriers, food insecurity, stress and mental health challenges, and comprehensive health needs. Through intentional programing, services, and collections, libraries can foster community in the library and increase students' sense of belonging. By creatively partnering with other campus units to collaborate on low-cost, high-impact creative programs and services, libraries can increase their contributions to students' holistic wellbeing and academic success.
