LOUISIANA LIBRARY HURRICANE DAMAGE

Marilyn A. Graver forwarded the following item from the
November 2005 Newsletter of the Bibliophile Society of
Rochester, NY: “Hurricanes Katrina and Rita did substantial
damage to many of Louisiana's libraries.  Over 100 school
libraries and 15 public libraries were damaged or destroyed
beyond repair, and a number of academic libraries lost major
portions of their collections.  The first floor of Southern
University Library in New Orleans was flooded and has lost
collections including African-American History, reference,
and all books from A-G in the LC classification system.
Tulane University basement was flooded and lost almost its
entire government documents section.

If you are interested in helping, financial donations for
public libraries may be sent to the Louisiana Library
Foundation and they will forward the money to the appropriate
library or community.  If you want to donate to a specific
library, you can indicate that and they will make sure that
the library receives it.  Make your check payable to Louisiana
Library Foundation and send it to PO Box 2583 Baton Rouge,
LA 70821.”
