Security in Libraries: J.R. Hunter, Security Supervisor, Hennepin County Library System. Tips on creating a more secure environment in your library from an expert. 6:30 - 8:00 PM, Coeur de Catherine Building, lower level, room 17 on the St. Catherine University St. Paul Campus. A map for the campus can be found here: http://www.stkate.edu/pages/aboutstkates/locations.php. Free parking is available in the O'Shaughnessy Lot or general parking areas after 5pm.

J.R. Hunter is a supervisor for the Hennepin County security division overseeing all of the 40 Hennepin County libraries. J.R.'s security experience spans 20 years from Level One trauma centers to police work to museums. This distinctive background provides him with the right perspective and knowledge to address emerging security issues in libraries. J.R. will talk about work environments in public libraries: difficult patrons, behavior, judgment, staying focused during confrontation, when to call 911 and more!

The future of librarianship begins with us.
