Local 15’s weather personality Deitra Tate reads from Hurricane Wolf during the summer reading kick-off at the MPL Community Day Event.
The USA Biomedical Library partnered with the Mobile Public Library to host its first Hurricane Preparedness: Community Day Event at the West Regional Branch on June 5, 2010.
The event featured day-long lectures, demonstrations and exhibits by community first-responders and by USA biomedical librarians, and they reached over 1,400 people from the Mobile community. Weather personalities from local TV stations participated in the event by reading during children’s story hour and conducting an informative lecture titled “How Many Hurricanes?”
Packets with emergency preparedness information, including a family emergency plan, evacuation maps, and safe pet evacuation were handed out during the event. A second Community Day Event is planned for the Fairhope Public Library in Baldwin County on June 26, 2010.
