Civil unrest, acts of terrorism both foreign and domestic, workplace violence – all of these events should be of concern to the average citizen, as well as the average library patron. As libraries increasingly become hubs for social activities, it follows that they would also potentially become the locations or targets of violence. School shootings, domestic violence, and riots have all touched libraries; these are not events that happen in other places. And public libraries are not the only libraries affected by such events. How can librarians, library staff, and library administration across the spectra of libraries – public and academic, school and special, law and medical – ensure and enhance the safety of their patrons and their spaces while preventing or mitigating the risk of violence?
This publication will seek to identify and report, through well-researched chapters, case studies and examples of how violence has affected libraries of all types and how those libraries have responded to violent events. It will seek to identify solutions and ways of preventing or mitigating the risk of violence in the context of the library. It seeks to cover a wide range of libraries, acknowledging that different types of libraries serve different types of populations, though none are immune to the danger of violence. Furthermore, different types of libraries may well experience different types of violence, so it is useful to examine this phenomenon from multiple perspectives.
