Complacency by Edward Minyard – Tuesday, March 12th at 7 pm.

 

 

Please join local author Edward Minyard at the library on Tuesday. March 12th at 7 pm to discuss his newest book, Complacency. Ed’s professional career spanning over 35 years has been in the consulting field with a focus on risk management, disaster recovery and what is necessary to maintain business continuity.  Ed has been actively involved in providing leadership during some of the largest disasters ever to impact North America and draws on those experiences in his writing. “”Complacency exposes the perils of disregarding current global events and underestimating potential threats, drawing from his experiences in emergency management and cybersecurity to create an unforgettable tale that illuminates both preparedness and inaction – leaving readers with an intimate knowledge of the potentially devastating repercussions of becoming complacent in an ever-changing, ever-more volatile world.”  Ed uses his own experiences to guide the reader to becoming “more prepared, more resilient, and less complacent in their own lives”.  Copies of the book are available in the library.

 

Black History Month

February is Black History month, established in 1976 by Carter Woodson. In 1975, President Ford issued a Message on the Observance of Black History Week urging all Americans to “recognize the important contribution made to our nation’s life and culture by black citizens.” In 1976, ASLAH, the Association for the study of African American Life and History expanded this commemoration of Black history in the United States from a week-long observance to Black History Month.  Stop in to the library to have a look at our display recognizing this observance and pick up a classic title for your February read.
