[OPLINLIST] Library in Greenburg, Kansas

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Dear Ohio Librarians: 

 

I know that you are all aware of the situation in Greenburg, Kansas
where on May 4th a mile-and-a-half tornado destroyed 95% of that town,
including the library.  I have been in touch with the Kansas State
Librarian to tell her that I was sure that Ohio librarians will want to
help that community in any way possible (although it is too early to do
so).  I asked her to let us know when and if there is anything that we
can do.  She tells me that they are in the process of setting up a
"library team"  to help with the clean-up.  We will keep in touch and I
will pass along any information.  

 

Meanwhile there was an article in the latest issue of American Libraries
Direct (5/9/2007).  Here is the link to that article in case you did not
see it.

There is reference in this article to a relief fund that has been
established for the library's recovery.
