OK, haven't we all wondered what we'd actually have to contribute in a PA situation? As a retired school/public librarian, sometimes I wondered......it sent me thinking about what other skills I'd got. Horseback riding-potentially useful, creative camp cooking, etc. And REALLY fast knitting on simple projects. Honestly, I didn't think much of even that-certainly not in the initial aftermath. Then I picked up a copy of a knitting magazine and found this in their book review section: Doomsday Knits by Alex Tinsley. Haven't seen it yet, but it's available on Amazon......
And now for something completely different: I can only speak for this side of the Pond, but I've noticed at the library where I now volunteer quite a number of PA books aimed at kids and the library population called "Young Adults" over here, i.e., from not quite teenagers to not quite adults. I used to read quite a lot in this category professionally-kiddie/teen lit that is-and kept on after retirement 'cause most of it is quite high quality. If there's interest out there, I could make it a point to post titles/authors & brief summary here.
Once a librarian, always a librarian.....
