Workshop Wealth: Disaster Preparedness

This is not intended as any sort of blog discussing current events; there are already way too many places where you can find that. This is intentionally focused through a very narrow lens. However, there are two recent major events, Dennis's close passage to our area and the London bombings, that make it impossible not to momentarily digress.

One of the blogs I monitor, librarian.net, has this very interesting turn in the coverage of the London tragedies that talks about the British Library's proximity to the events and the fact that staff and patrons became locked in place in the library.

Going today to the main page of the British Library, just out of curiosity as to what might be posted there still, one finds this gem of British understatement:

What's new
As a result of the recent major incidents in the King's Cross area, the galleries, bookshop and café at the British Library at St Pancras may close early on Sunday 10 July.

Is your library prepared for "major incidents" such as the two making today's news? If not, come to the Friday, September 9th workshop at CFLC Safety, Security, and Preparedness for Libraries and learn how to plan to keep your library ready for whatever comes!
