Todaro, J. (2009) Emergency Preparedness for Libraries. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press.

Despite the volumes of information they contain, few libraries, whose population at any given moment is as unpredictable as the weather, know how to prepare for, endure, and survive a disaster, whether natural or man-made, and even fewer put their know-how to paper. Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library management with a comprehensive guide to planning and executing emergency procedures.

Based, in part, on an emergency preparedness seminar the author has presented for the American Library Association, Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library personnel with detailed instructions for protecting staff, patrons, and the facilities themselves, including
*         Steps to take now, before disaster strikes
*         People and procedures to include in an emergency/disaster action plan
*         Practical ways to turn written plans into an instinctual team response
*         Safety considerations to take into account when caring for people on-site during an emergency
*         Information to provide to the umbrella organization and the media after a disaster
*         Key things to do the first few days after an event
*         Tips for getting back to business
In addition, the author examines possible scenarios and provides step-by-step solutions for all types of libraries-academic, school, public, and special-and all types of disruptions, including floods, fires, civil disturbances, and theft. (book description)

Library Administration & Management Association. (2011) Building Blocks for Planning Functional Library Space 3rd Ed. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press. 978-0-8108-8104-4.

This volume outlines the measures of space needed for the use of equipment and furniture within a library setting. It provides drawings of typical library furniture and equipment along with diagrams of the space required for their use. In addition, this volume also contains a brief text that provides an overview of the planning process, as well as details on several aspects of design and planning. With this expanded and revised edition, planners of new, renovated, or existing space will be better able to effectively utilize the space they have and to resist the temptation to overload a given space with too many functions. This third edition significantly expands the number of illustrations found in the previous edition, adding information on newer library technology and amenities. Photographs of furniture and equipment in library settings further enhance the user's understanding of applicable square footage needs. Designed to be consulted after the decision to build has been made, this volume answers the critical question, "How much space do we need?". (book description)
