October 20, 2022: Get Ready To Shake Out. www.ShakeOut.org

At 9:15 AM on November 9, 2022, the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library will participate in the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill and evacuation. (Note: we chose a different date and time than the official one in order to minimize disruptions and avoid air quality issues in October.) If you and your family would like to practice the earthquake drill and evacuation in a public space, you are welcome to join us then. If you prefer not to, you are welcome to arrive at the library after 10 AM, when the drill will be over.
