The 2014 Long Island Library Conference was very interesting, entertaining and informative. The SSD program, “Workplace Safety in the Library,” was well attended with over 50 attendees. We want to thank Matthew Setteducati of the NYS Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH) for providing valuable information and resources for the attendees to bring back to their libraries. The audience was very engaged and asked pertinent questions during the presentation.  All the information is available on the PESH website: https://labor.ny.gov/workerprotection/safetyhealth/DOSH_PESH.shtm

The SSD table had numerous visitors during the course of the Conference resulting in all give aways being dispersed! Our lucky winner of the Go Bag & Teddy Bear donated by the American Red Cross was Adele Fitz of the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Public Library. Our thanks go to Celia Vollmer of the Brentwood Public Library for arranging the American Red Cross donation.
