Library Support of the Community During Times of Crisis

Did your library serve an extraordinary community function during the December snowfall events or the January floods? If so, we need your stories about how the library served the community. We will post this information on this blog and use this information when we meet with other officials within the state.

We’ve heard that some of you opened your doors to other community functions such that they could operate out of your library. Your library may have served as a command center for instance. Some of you may have opened your doors to the local business community when they flooded and allowed them to continue to operate in some limited fashion. Others of you may have opened your doors and welcomed many who had no place to spend the day. These are the stories we are hoping that you will share with us.

You may post your stories as comments on this blog or send your response to Rand Simmons, Library Development Program Manager at [email protected]. If you have pictures that support your story, those are welcome as well.

Thanks in advance for sharing this information.
