PREPARE FOR THE COMING STORM

HOW TO PREPARE FOR “FRANKENSTORM” , “A.K.A.” HURRICANE SANDY
(NO RELATION)

1. Return or renew all library materials before the storm.
2. Stock up on new books. DVDs are optional, if the power goes out you’re out of luck.
3. Send in that check for the annual appeal. (You know, just in case!)
4. Buy extra pet food if you have pets. (see *)
5. Stock up on canned goods, batteries, flashlights, candles, lanterns (any light source that you can read by), don’t forget some fruit so no one gets scurvy. (oh, and extra tp just in case you have to eat all the fruit before it spoils. )
6. Buy extra ketchup*. Just in case you have to eat them before they eat you! LOL

Seriously though, make sure you are ready, just in case we actually do lose power or get 12 inches of snow. There has been sufficient warning to lay in supplies and batten down the hatches. If the library has to close it will be announced, but if there is no power (no radios, no TV, no Internet), there is no message. We all know that Tioga County is a funny place. One area can be without power for days, while a few miles away the lights just flicker.
