American Library Association vs. Hurricane Katrina

Each segment of society is responding differently to the disaster wrought by Hurricane Katrina in its own way. The libraries of America are no different.

In response to Katrina, the American Library Association has put up this web page of resources to help affected libraries recover from the inevitable water and mold damage. There is information on a free SOLINET workshop that is coming up, which will teach librarians how to salvage valuable collections that have been damaged.

Also included are links to disaster relief programs and links with general information on how libraries can help survivors cope with what has happened. Of particular interest is a list of Young Adult (YA) books for teens on surviving disaster.
