Flood The LFPL With Money Today!

By now you probably know the story. Louisville’s Main Library at York and Third streets was heavily damaged by flooding, with thousands of books soaked and the building’s mechanical systems knocked out along with all of the computers at branches systemwide. Today a bunch of us are doing a blogathon to raise funds on behalf of the Louisville Free Public Library. You can give to the Louisville Free Public Library Foundation (http://www.lfplfoundation.org/) or head over to join Steve Lawson’s quest to write them a check for $5,000.

Quick update from Lawson: At this moment, we have $3,638.95 after PayPal takes its cut. So that leaves us with more than $1,300 to raise today and tomorrow.
