Library Programing that May Interest You

Good Afternoon: our local Red Cross is giving us information on flu prevention, as well as, hand sanitizer wipes for each library. They will come in a box that you can leave out for your patrons. We are also talking with Blue Cross to get additional hand sanitizer for libraries.

Also if you are interested in a programming option, the Red Cross will provide the following program(s) for your library. Please contact Jane Robinson directly if you're interested in the programming.

• What is a Flu Pandemic?
• How is Influenza Virus Spreads
• Public Health Prevention Strategies
• Developing a Preparedness Plan for Yourself and Your Family
• Developing a Preparedness Plan for the Workplace
• Preventing the Spread of Infection in the Workplace

We are hoping to present this information throughout Allegheny County. The presentation we have developed is an hour long and includes video, PowerPoint lecture, activites, and hand-outs. Our goal is to impact as much of the community as Possible, as quickly as possible.
