<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calisto MT",serif">This is a topic that’s very close to home here as we had a shooting and multiple deaths at one of our public libraries this past fall. Since the library was impacted they obviously couldn’t do
much but I know that they offered storytime programs in a different location, had grief counselors available for any of the patrons and created a condolence wall in the convention center where people could stop by and leave thoughts and memories of the staff
members that died. People in the community and outside donated TONS of children’s books to the library and they had a public memorial service for the Children’s librarian who died and they told all the children attending they could help themselves to the donated
books in memory of Miss Krissie. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
I usually don’t make it a habit of emailing at night, but feelings keep washing over me as I check my Facebook timeline and I thought I may be able to turn to this amazing pool of wisdom for some guidance...<br>
<br>
As you all may know by now, there was a school shooting in Western Kentucky; two 15 year old teens are dead, with 19 others wounded and in various states of recovery. Still awaiting updates about the son of the school librarian who was injured. Another colleague’s
child was put into an induced coma. Thankfully, the husband and stepchild of my youth services librarian at the public library survived without physical injury.
<br>
<br>
I am in a closed Facebook group with the public library’s branch manager, who was formerly their teen librarian. The community is very small and rural; town of 30,000. Community resources are far and few between, especially when it comes to mental health. She
has posted a query about what to offer at the library tomorrow, as the schools are closed. I have encouraged all of the program suggestions, from movie day for the children, to a memorial wall all patrons can interact with - even finding a church or regional
non profit who may be able to provide meals for the week while school is out. I also shared with her an interview with the director of the Ferguson (MO) PL about his programs and outreach in the wake of his community’s tragedies.<br>
<br>
I am feeling helpless and wish I could just hug her and take away her pain, stress, and the weariness of the long days and nights to come.<br>
<br>
This led me to start thinking about wider opportunities for training on everything from trauma informed care to bibliotherapy, and self care for public service staff in the wake of tragedies.<br>
<br>
My ask is if any of you have dealt with similar issues or have recommendations for resources on any of these topics, from books, to trainers, or anything you feel is appropriate.<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for sticking with this long message. Now more than ever, I deeply appreciate the support of this amazing group of colleagues and professionals.
<br>
<br>
With gratitude,<br>
