Register Today for Pathway to Normalcy

community workshop

Join us for a regional South Carolina workshop for public and academic library staff members. Registration is open for Pathway to Normalcy: Partnering with Emergency Planners to Build Greater Community Resilience. Is your library prepared for an emergency or disaster? This summit is designed to give you the basic tools to create a disaster readiness culture within your institution. Examine the roles that libraries can play before, during and after a disaster, engage with regional emergency planners, develop safety procedures and learn how to mitigate damage to a collection after a disaster. This session will be presented by Dan Wilson of the National Networks of Libraries of Medicine. Lunch will be provided. Cost is $10.00 per person which covers lunch.
