Today was designated World Creativity and Innovation Day by the United Nations.  Creativity and innovation are great ways to fight boredom while you’re staying home.  They are also great ways to relieve anxiety and stress.  I like to journal or paint to relieve stress.  Now may be a good time to get back into that hobby you used to love, or to pick up a new one!

We have many eResources available to guide you on your creative and innovative journeys.  If you need to learn more about how to access eResources, check out Abby’s post about digital books.  I’ve highlighted some examples of what you can find on these platforms here.
