(No need to travel to the Indiana State Library, you can attend from the comfort of your own library!)

Brief Description: Gun violence has been all over the news this year and you’ve told us this topic has been on your mind. What can libraries can do to promote the safety of both staff and the public? ISL staff will cover Indiana gun laws and how they impact libraries. We will provide appropriate language for library policies regarding patron behavior and clarify what libraries can and can’t regulate. Library Director Mary K. Emmrich will discuss the process Newton County Public Library went through last year to develop an active shooter policy and share the outcome.

This webinar is eligible for 1 LEU which you will be able to download after the webinar.
