LILRC Webinar: Library Director Jenga – COVID Edition, Session 3 Emergency Planning

September 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Join Kate Hall and Kathy Parker, authors of The Public Library Directors Toolkit, as they discuss how to balance the responsibilities of being a director during a pandemic and three core areas of running a public library during a public health crisis and after. The individual sessions will include library director jenga, personnel, emergency planning, and buildings. Each session will delve into each topic, have some group work and time for roundtable discussion. The sessions are intended for established public library directors and we encourage attendees to come ready to share their own insights and experiences.

Session 3- Emergency Planning

How has safety training changed as a result of the recent public health crisis? We will discuss what procedures and training you should have in place and then shift our focus to how this will need to change as a result of future public health crises. Attendees will review a common emergency procedure and determine how this procedure needs to adapt to handle future public health crises.
