Webinar 9/9: Library of Things and Emergency Response

[Backman, Heather (BLC)]

(Crossposted, apologies if you receive multiple messages.)

 

 

Please join us for "Prepared to Help: Library of Things and Emergency Response" on September 9 from 2-3:30pm.

This virtual webinar will explore how Library of Things collections can support community resilience and disaster readiness. Hear from library leaders at Curtis Memorial Library (ME), Brazoria County Library System (TX), and the Central Florida Tool Library (FL) as they share how they’ve developed collections that go beyond books— lending emergency tools, preparedness kits, and more. Whether you're just beginning or already lending non-traditional items, this session will offer inspiration, practical tips, and collection development strategies to help your library better serve patrons before and after disaster strikes.

This program was arranged by the Delaware Department of Libraries and the New York State Library as part of the Northeast Summit on Climate Adaptation for Library Facilities.

Recently I’ve read Entrée to Entrelac by Gwen Bortner – highly recommended for knitters with a bit of experience and an interest in unusual construction!
