Subject: Survey Participation Request Focusing on Public Libraries’ Readiness for Weather-Related Disasters


Dear Wendy Cornelisen,

As the State Librarian of the State Library of Oregon I am contacting you today to ask for your help in distributing a short survey to the public library directors in your state library organization.  Is it possible to share the information below on a state library email list?  The aim of the project is to aid the researchers in assessing U.S. public libraries’ readiness for weather-related disasters as institutions, as well as to assess how public libraries can provide assistance to their communities’ recovery in the wake of weather-related disasters. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

Sincerely,

Monika Antonelli

Dear Library Colleague,

We are asking for your help to benchmark both public library preparedness for disaster and their contribution to community resilience efforts. This research is being conducted by Monika Antonelli (Minnesota State University, Mankato), Rebekkah Smith Aldrich (Mid-Hudson Library System), Adrian K. Ho (University of Chicago) and René Tanner (Rollins College).

The short survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is intended for public library directors or public library administrators. The aim of the project is to aid the researchers in assessing U.S. public libraries’ readiness for weather-related disasters as institutions, as well as to assess how public libraries can provide assistance to their communities’ recovery in the wake of weather-related disasters.
