A Library of Things for Disaster Response (SLI)

About this event

Learn how Brazoria County Library System (BCLS) in Texas transformed its "Library of Things" into a disaster response asset that directly supports community needs before, during, and after major disruptions. This webinar will explain how readiness planning and intentional selection helped expand access to essential tools during emergencies, strengthening recovery efforts and reinforcing the library's role as a trusted, practical community institution. Library Director Lisa Loranc will share how the BCLS integrated the Library of Things planning and acquisition into core library strategy — rather than treating it as an add-on — and how partnerships and a community-centered services model helped her library counter book banning narratives by emphasizing libraries as hubs for equitable access.
