From Library Journal: A temporary library in Cameron Parish, located in Louisiana’s southwest corner, was destroyed by Hurricane Ike over the weekend, according to SOLINET’s Gulf Coast Libraries Project. The Cameron branch established in February 2007 in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. The status of another branch, located in Grand Chenier, is not yet known.
The Houston Public Library (HPL) announced that it would reopen two locations today and two more tomorrow, offering residents the opportunity to apply for FEMA aid and insurance claims, and to e-mail family and friends. HPL said it would provide laptops in its locations to increase the opportunity for web access.
