Help rebuild New Orleans Public Library

I happened upon this information in an e-newsletter I get from Powells.com.

The floodwaters that followed Hurricane Katrina damaged all the New Orleans Public Library's 13 buildings, and ruined eight — where collections, computers, and furniture are beyond repair. Total damage has been estimated at $26-$30 million.

Five libraries are now open. Funds are coming in to renovate the damaged branches and to provide temporary service via mobile libraries.

You can help the Katrina Project build the Levee for Life and help rebuild the New Orleans Public Library! Your contribution will help put books and educational materials back into the hands of the families of New Orleans.

Go to Project Katrina for more details or to contribute.
