Disaster Planning for Public Libraries Sponsored by The North Carolina Preservation Consortium The North Carolina Museum of Art The North Carolina Library Association Public Library Section February 7, 2001 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM North Carolina Museum of Art 2110 Blue Ridge Road Raleigh, NC When disaster strikes will you be ready? A tornado destroys the Choctaw branch of the Metropolitan Library in Oklahoma City. American Libraries Online News, July 1999. Fire destroys 10,000 new books in the Louisville Kentucky Free Public Library. American Libraries Online News, September 1999. Flooding damages 25% of collection in New Jersey's Rahway Free Public Library. American Libraries Online News, September 1999. The Detroit Public Library closes after bacteria is found on books damaged by flooding. American Libraries Online News, September 2000. Floods, fires, mold, vandalism and other catastrophes can and do strike at any time. Local history and genealogy collections may be irreplaceable. Core reference and general circulating titles are often out of print. Replacing damaged items will consume financial and human resources diverted from the acquisition of new material. Having a written disaster plan to limit and reduce the loss of collections is an accountable measure of responsible stewardship of cultural assets. Designed for personnel in public libraries, this workshop offers instruction and advise in crafting disaster preparedness plans and procedures. Instructors Winston Atkins, Preservation Officer, Duke University. Andrew Hart, Preservation Librarian , University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
