We've just posted a new blog post by Dr. Steve Albrecht in our "The Safe Library" section of Library 2.0: "Can Libraries Become the Driver for Safe Home Gun Storage? A Bold Idea, Whose Time Has Come." If I had just one wish, where I could snap my fingers and make it happen instantly to prevent school shootings, it would not be about anti-bullying campaigns (which range in success from a lot to not at all); or more School Resource Officers (hard to do today with such low staffing in law enforcement agencies); or better physical security at our schools (the locked, staffed “clo ..read more

We've just posted a new blog post by Dr. Steve Albrecht in our "The Safe Library" section of Library 2.0: "It’s Time for a 'Code Pink' Drill: Protecting Infants and Small Children in the Library." Let’s focus on the possibility of a stolen child at the library. Your library needs a similar plan, where staff has been trained (and has practiced it in an annual drill) to drop what they are doing when they hear a Code Pink PA announcement, move to their nearest entry/exit door, and stop anyone from leaving with a child. You can read the full post here.  Dr. Albrecht's ..read more
