DESCRIPTION: Recent mass shootings in public places should remind all library leaders and their staffs to review their emergency response plans to this disturbing event. These incidents are often foreshadowed by warning signs and specific pre-attack behaviors by disturbed patrons that may be noticed by staff members. This 60-minute webinar is led by Dr. Steve Albrecht, a national leader in both workplace violence prevention and library security. He'll provide safety tools and security techniques to empower library employees at every level, not frighten them. This includes his discussion of how some people make threats and others pose threats; the national response protocol known as Run-Hide-Fight; how to safely evacuate all patrons and staff; how to shelter in place in the library; and how to best protect patrons and staff from an armed attacker. Dr. Albrecht will also discuss why these perpetrators strike in the first place and what we can learn from past cases as a way to both understand and stop them. Evette M.

Rescues From the Wrecks "Regulations say we have to go out. They don't say we have to come back." That was the United States Life-Saving Service's unofficial motto. Great Lakes life-saving crews rowed to save shipwrecks in a surfboat or used small cannons to shoot a rope to the wreck. No matter how dangerous the weather, orders required them to go out. In 1915, the Life-Saving Service and the Revenue Cutter Service merged to become the United States Coast Guard.

Sesay was born in England and at the age of seven moved with her family to her parents' homeland of Sierra Leone.

Last year alone more than 25,000 viewers joined us live as we announced the best of the best in literature for youth. We are grateful for Baker & Taylor’s support as we continue to work to foster a love for reading and a nation of avid readers.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/11/baker-taylor-sponsor-2019-al… ALA Announces Emerging Leader Participants for Class of 2019 The American Library Association (ALA) has selected 50 people to participate in its 2019 class of Emerging Leaders.
