As one would expect, librarians, educators, and book people have rushed to the forefront to provide information on how to deal with the Newtown tragedy. I thought I would share some of the links that I have come across. I was also asked to repost the link to a safety video regarding an active shooter in a building. As always, tough to watch but very informative. I pray that none of us ever have to experience anything like this.
