Hi all, I would love to hear what your procedure is for an active shooter. We are a very small town and currently don't even have one in place. I am also wondering if your library has any procedures or protocol for if/when your local school district goes on lockdown for any reason? The elementary/high school school is directly across the road from our building, so we are in close proximity. JC Wheeler Library PO Box 226 1576 S. Main Martin, MI 49070 269-672-7875 âFinish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.â â Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you for asking this question. We are in a similar situation in Alanson. Lynne K.
