Expanding on earlier book discussion ideas for the bold librarian, I currently recommend “The Great Taking” by David Rogers Webb. It is available for free online in print and audio versions, and a free documentary based on the book is on youtube.
In a nutshell, Webb explains that investors no longer own securities but instead have “entitlements” to them and explores the implications of this change in the case of a financial collapse. I have listened to several podcasters review the book; thus far they have confirmed that the claims Webb makes are correct, but they do not necessarily agree with Webb’s gloomier predictions.
Webb advocates for calm awareness as the first step. What better place than a library to foster that awareness?

You also MUST buy assets that will be needed if the collapse happens...basic, life saving things...water/food/bullets/gas/two-way and all band radios/medical supplies, etc. "Money" will basically be almost useless as barter will be all if it's bad enough.
Wow. That is a bold move. Make sure your drives are backed up - hard - and your encryption keys are safe. ;-)
I do need to move to cold storage.
I was just thinking today that there are a lot of podcasts on this topic but many of the people I regularly listen to hadn't touched it yet... then lo and behold... https://twitter.com/KimIversenShow/status/1788742352732864715
Where can David Rogers Webb's book be found. Seems they are scrubbed from the regular sources?

There was also an official letter and response letter about all this... let me see if I can dig those up.
