Good Afternoon Everyone, I am sad to let you all know that our security guard, Henry Ford, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Hoyt Library in downtown Saginaw yesterday. The shooter never entered the library and drove away fast after it happened. The police station is across the street from the library and it didn't take them long to make an arrest. The shooter was Henry's brother-in-law and it was a family dispute. I want to clarify, at no time were any library patrons or staff a target and nobody else was hurt. We followed our active shooter procedure and it worked. Please be prepared and review your procedures with staff. You never know... Also, please consider offering an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for your employees if you don't already. We work with Child and Family Services in Saginaw and they have been amazing. I made one phone call today and was able to contact a grief counselor who will meet with us tomorrow to help us process our grief and fears. Individual IEP sessions will be available for people who want to talk one-on-one with a counselor. EAP services are confidential and free for employees. Thank you, Maria Maria McCarville, MBA MILS Director Public Libraries of Saginaw 505 Janes Avenue Saginaw, MI 48607 989.755.9820
