several months and, as a result, have been involved in a lot of discussions about the value of the library. The fact that it is free is discussed, the fact that it is available to everyone is discussed, and the fact that it often serves a very real social
need as a community center is discussed. But, one thing that I have never heard mentioned is something that was brought up in a recent blog post by Erin Mayer. Erin is a 27 year old freelance writer who mentioned in his post that finally getting a library
card this year made him less of a picky reader. He used to spend a lot of time researching what he might purchase to read because his resources were limited and he didn’t want to waste his time or money. But, having a library card in hand changed all of that
for him. Being able to take a chance on a book borrowed from the public library opened his eyes to all the possibilities awaiting him and made him a much more adventurous reader and a more curious learner. After reading this, I thought about myself and the
fact that I have been very limited in my reading selections recently and it is primarily because I have been purchasing books on my Kindle and not using the public library. I know I really shouldn’t confess to this but unfortunately, it is true. However, when
I do have the chance to go to the library, I definitely pick up a far broader group of books, try out new authors, and even journey into non-fiction. So maybe we need to remember that part of the value of the public library is that it enables us to be more
adventurous and more experimental in our reading and thus, more interesting as people.

<br>
<br>
Developing emergency preparedness plans and training staff to respond accordingly to an emergency are growing in importance. Emergency planning for libraries must grow beyond the protection of the libraries' collection. The goal of a progressive emergency
plan should include the safety of staff, patrons, property, the environment, as well as, the collection. This session will introduce and reinforce strategies to accomplish these goals.
