Be prepared

No, I'm not a Boy Scout. And it seems a bit odd to be thinking about this, with another eight inches of snow coming our way. But Jessamyn West at Librarian.Net has a wonderful posting and reminder on how to deal with a tornado at your library, prompted by the tornados that hit Kansas recently.

For those of us in the Midwest where tornados are a real threat, this is a reminder to be prepared. Have a plan. Train the staff. If, God forbid, something happens, you'll be glad you took the time now.
