We've just posted a new blog post by Dr. Steve Albrecht in our "The Safe Library" section of Library 2.0: "Can Libraries Become the Driver for Safe Home Gun Storage? A Bold Idea, Whose Time Has Come."
If I had just one wish, where I could snap my fingers and make it happen instantly to prevent school shootings, it would not be about anti-bullying campaigns (which range in success from a lot to not at all); or more School Resource Officers (hard to do today with such low staffing in law enforcement agencies); or better physical security at our schools (the locked, staffed “closed campus” model works best, especially as students enter and leave). No, those aren’t my primary concerns.
If I could make it happen, I would demand that every single parent who has a kid at a K-12 school and who owns a gun in their home stores it safely.
You can read the full post here.
Dr. Albrecht's twice-monthly Library 2.0 podcasts, interviews, and blog posts are available for free, as are: access to 52,000+ other library professionals, our regular mini-conferences, and all the conference recordings. We also offer a series of Dr. Albrecht and other paid webinars and recordings which are available for individual or group viewing here.
