Are You Ready? Disaster A waits!!
How to Prepare Your Library for Natural -and Unnatural
By Nadia J. Martin, M.L.I.S.
No matter where you live,
a disaster is waiting for
you. Doom and gloom?
No, common sense. Last year, sev-
eral libraries in the U.S. were di-
rectly affected by natural disasters:
floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires,
and blizzards. There were also
hundreds of libraries affected by
"unnatural" disasters: leaking roofs,
broken windows, working sprin-
kler systems, and mold outbreaks.
In many cases, the affected librar-
ies did NOT have a disaster plan in- Disasters
effect.
What is a disaster plan? It is
the document that will help you
save, protect, or recover your
church or synagogue library from
man-made or natural disasters. This
article will outline how to prepare
for the inevitable. Later articles in
the series will cover disaster preven-
tion and management.

Welcome to the expanded
Church & Synagogue LIBRARIES,
CSLA's bi-monthly publication,
which beginning with this issue in-
creases from 20 to 24 pages.
Thanks to the CSLA execu-
tive board, who approved funding
for the increase at their mid-winter
meeting, C&SL will be published six
times a year with a minimum of 24
pages in each issue. More pagesmeans more space for information
you can use in your library minis-
tries, more room for you to share
your good ideas. . . and less shoe-
horning for me when I'm trying to
fit it all in!
I look forward to hearing
your ideas about what you'd like
to see on these extra pages.

brary? If you don't know the an-
swer to that question, you need to
find out. You may be very sur-
prised to learn "No, the library is
not included." To get the library's
collections included on most insur-
ance policies, you must be able to
establish the value of your books,
videos, etc. How do you do this?
If you have an accession list (and
use it), you already have a record
of each item in your collection and
