Hurricane Sandy and Libraries

(e-mail from ALA Executive Director Michael Fiels, dated November 5,2012)

An initial article on Hurricane Sandy and its impact on libraries appeared in AL Online yesterday. It can be found at:  http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/features/11042012/libraries-weather-superstorm

So far, we have pretty good information on New Jersey, thanks to the New Jersey Library Association and New Jersey State Library. Don Wood is now reaching out to the state chapters to gather information on other libraries that sustained damage.

We'll share information with the Board and Council as we get it in.
