If anyone in the Gulf area has a spare room or any sort of assistance they can provide to library workers and their families displaced by Katrina, please email me (lisrochelle at gmail dot com)and I’ll forward to the Gueaux Library Recovery List. At this point, there isn’t much to do except organize, and the Geaux group wants to be ready when that time comes. Please consider joining the list to see how you can help. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/geauxlibrary/.
Are there any other library community-based efforts under way? It’d be a shame to be duplicating efforts.
Library Disaster Relief Efforts
There are a few other library-bommunity efforts that I’m aware of: SLA’s Information Professionals’ Alliance on Natural Disasters and Accidents (IPANDA) and AALL’s AALL Assist. I’ve posted details and links here
