Resources for Preparing for Disaster and Terrorism

Our responsibility to our community is to provide informational support to the people of Belvedere and Tiburon in times of national crisis. Many sites have posted useful lists of resources. This page will link to those sites. We are also posting a bibliography of relevant titles, and we are ordering books to help us and our children understand and cope with recent events. We welcome suggestions from you for our book lists and purchases and our Web site. Please call our reference desk at 415-789-2661 for questions or suggestions. Or send email to refdesk@bel-tib-lib.org.
