If a community has a resource like your or my library then I think that community must be built around preserving and using that library at all costs. That includes the paper books and maps, articles and books on computer, and people with the knowledge and skills to use the resources in the library. For example, think how much better off your community would be if you had one or more steam engines powering electrical generators and your own community grid. Power for radios, video surveillance, computers, machine tools, medical uses, charging batteries, lights and much more. Sure, you’ve got to survive, eat, etc. but the library must be core. It’s one thing to fall back 100-150 years, it’s entirely different to fall back 1,000 years, or more. BTW, thanks for the links, wow. https://www.theorganicprepper.com/category/preppers/the-information-specialist-series/
