ALA has recently made a plea and is in hopes to raise $500,000.00 for the school, public and academic libraries losses in floods and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Let's think about this for one moment and reassess our core values. Just the future of the book alone must move you, let alone the aspect of the library as a place to escape, grow, and connect to the outside world. In reality, $500,000.00 is a mere drop in the bucket compared to what it will take to bring even one of these libraries back into business.
Please join me in focusing our efforts to ensure life after loss.
