Any organization can participate in MayDay.  Last year, staff at Lycoming 
College’s Snowden Library in  Williamsport, PA, invited the college’s 
Director of Safety  and Security to talk to staff about fire safety, the North  
Carolina State Archives took staff on a walk-through of  their vaults while 
reviewing emergency response procedures,  and the Jewish Historical Society of 
the Upper Midwest in  Minneapolis, MN, created a special page on their Web 
site  for staff use in case of an emergency.
