NE Summit on Climate Adaptation for Library Facilities: Prepared to Help: Library of Things and Emergency Response
How can your library be a resource in times of crisis? Join this presentation to explore how Library of Things collections can support community resilience and disaster readiness. Hear from library leaders at Curtis Memorial Library (ME), Brazoria County Library System (TX), and the Central Florida Tool Library (FL) as they share how they’ve developed collections that go beyond books—lending emergency tools, preparedness kits, and more. Whether you're just beginning or already lending non-traditional items, this session will offer inspiration, practical tips, and collection development strategies to help your library better serve patrons before and after disaster strikes.
This event is part of the 2025-2026 series offered by the Northeast Summit on Climate Adaptation for Library Facilities, a collaboration of State Libraries from Maine to Maryland, including the Vermont Department of Libraries.
