How a “ #LibraryOfThings ” Became an Emergency Response Plan
During her tenure as Director of the #Brazoria County Library System, #LisaLoranc has introduced a variety of new programs and resources to her community. One of those offerings is a 'Library of Things,' which gives patrons the ability to access more than just books and media. What started out as a way for people to check out useful items that they might need but not own, soon evolved into an emergency response plan.
LDN Staff / June 20, 2025
Excerpt: "Brazoria County is one of those places in Texas that is vulnerable to a wide variety of natural disasters, so it was only a matter of time before the community might need some help. 'Hurricanes, ice storms, flooding, heat waves… anything can hit Brazoria,' Loranc said.
"An Emergency Response Plan Emerged
"There were obvious needs in the community and Loranc saw an opportunity to help fill them. 'We can have shop vacs, carpet cleaners, fans, moisture sensors… These are things people might need during a natural disaster, but probably don’t own or have access to… and in the middle of a disaster, that’s the worst time to go out and try and buy one.'
"But then, another problem arose. It became apparent that, even if you have these items available at the library, the community might not be able to get to them during a disaster. 'Libraries might also be shut down so we needed to be mobile,' Loranc said, 'We needed the ability to respond quickly during a natural disaster.'
"After that, the planning became much more intentional. She started thinking about how to support a satellite location. 'Assuming that we aren’t going to be in a building with A/C and Wifi, we are definitely going to need hotspots, chargers, generators. We’ll need power. We’ll need a canopy.'
"After she put the infrastructure in place, it was time to do outreach and create partnerships. Loranc started talking to city and county departments, including the Brazoria County Emergency Management Office. What she thought would work at the time was to deploy to their emergency locations, but she was quickly shut down by those departments. Though #BrazoriaCounty libraries act as 'cooling centers' during heat waves, the last thing they wanted was for the public to converge on the libraries in other emergency situations.
"So, she adjusted her plan and started building relationships with businesses and churches to use their parking lots as distribution centers. 'We talked to the Red Cross to find out where they would already have emergency shelters. We wanted to provide whatever they would need to get back into their homes faster.'
"Those items included shop vacs to deal with flooded spaces and high-speed fans to dry out wet interiors. The library can also provide portable generators to charge devices and hotspots for anyone without internet access. Using library vehicles, Loranc and her staff can deploy to multiple locations and provide the community with the items they need for almost any emergency situation. Her 'Library of Things' is now a crucial part of the county emergency response plan and poised to make a huge difference if disaster strikes Brazoria County."

How #LibrariesOfThings build #resilience, fight #ClimateChange, and bring communities together
by Tom Llewellyn
April 17, 2019Excerpt: "With climate-fueled disasters on the rise around the world, what role can tool libraries play in aiding community-led disaster response efforts?
" #ToolLibraries can play a huge role in #ClimateResilience and helping communities bounce forward after a disaster, but to be most effective they need to be in place before disasters like super-storms, floods, wildfires, or earthquakes.
"The tools, skills, and community that support a tool library can all be essential ingredients for rapid response and rebuilding. As we’ve seen after recent disasters, it can take weeks — or even months — for effective outside assistance to arrive, so the better-equipped communities are to help themselves, the better they will do after a disaster. Even if a tool library itself is damaged in a disaster, a redundant and reliable platform like #myTurn can help locate the tools that were checked out at the time of the disaster or items from other nearby tool libraries, so they can be put back into service quickly.
"Even before a disaster happens, tool libraries can play a number of roles in disaster preparation. Some of the most popular tools at the #PhinneyToolLibrary like concrete drills, palm nailers, air compressors, reciprocating saws are often borrowed to be used for earthquake retrofits, and the Oakland Tool Library even has earthquake retrofit kits. The social cohesion that tool libraries fosters also helps build community resilience.
"One final important, and often overlooked, benefit of tool libraries, #LibrariesOfThings, and other product sharing services is the large role they can play in reducing GHGs and climate risk in the first place. According to recent research by groups in Europe and the C40 Cities, consumer product consumption is the sector of the economy that has one of the, if not the, biggest environmental impact when taking into account resource extraction, manufacturing, and global supply chains, transportation, storage, use, and eventual disposal of products.
"Beyond reducing the 'embodied' energy in products through #reuse, some organizations are using tool libraries to further advance energy efficiency. For example, the Smart Buildings Center, SDG&E, and CUNY Building Performance Lab all run energy efficiency tool libraries that help homeowners, professionals, and construction companies retrofit existing buildings to reduce their energy use. Using shared tools to reduce energy consumption is a win-win for people, economics, and the planet."

Year-on-year, as a world, we keep emitting more and more greenhouse gasses – hence we keep accelerating the rate of #ClimateChange.
However, there’s also positive climate news to share

Yesterday I attended the Dutch Climate March 2026. Of course I had an amazing time like always but it did make me wonder.
There were 40k people, in 2023 there were 83k. Where did all those people go? Do they think the problem has been solved since then? In a country of 18m people, why do only so few show up after a summer where Europe (and the rest of the world) burned yet again?

Weakening Atlantic Ocean currents could cripple agriculture in some of the world's major breadbaskets, threatening global food security and raising the price of basic commodities, new research finds. The model's outcomes mirrored the results of previous studies, showing broad cooling in the Northern Hemisphere and a southward shift of the belt of clouds and rain that encircles the globe near the equator. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/climate-change/there-are-no-easy-answers-here-new-study-forecasts-a-dire-dip-in-food-production-if-key-atlantic-currents-collapse

Climate and ecosystem problems are interconnected, but science often works in disciplinary silos (a solution that looks good in one field can worsen problems identified in another). The cacophony of competing warnings and prescriptions make it harder for policymakers and the public to understand what actually needs to be done. Nexus studies are interesting (here's a recent one), but they need to consider impact of population on consumption.
