| By Jody McPhillips R.I. Library Report PROVIDENCE -- When a hurricane is heading for Rhode Island, we all know the drill: tape up the windows, gas up the car, fill the tub with water, and head to the store for bread, milk and candles. |  |
But what about the state’s irreplaceable cultural resources?
What must be done to protect Rhode Island’s libraries, archives and museums?
The state Office of Library and Information Services will hold a workshop on that topic on Wednesday, Oct. 10 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University, 315 Harborside Boulevard.
Emergency management experts, librarians and preservationists are invited to “Protecting the Past—Rhode Island” to discuss how to keep collections safe with the cooperation of first responders.
The morning session will be followed by lunch. Please RSVP by Oct. 3 to project manager Theresa Woodmansee at Theresa.woodmansee@gmail.com or (401) 253-1691.
