On Tuesday the Louisville Free Public Library was hit by a flash flood caused by a storm that dropped 7  inches of rain in 75 minutes.  Damages are estimated at $5 million, their servers, bookmobiles, offices, processing room and more were covered by 6 feet of water. How can you help?  The easiest way to is to head over to Steve Lawson’s blog and donate via PayPal (he’ll write a check to the  Foundation on September 1st) his goal is $5,000 and every little bit helps, donate what you can. (I think Steve is a trustworthy guy and so do a lot of other people) You could even win a prize by letting Abigail or Jambina know you donated. You can also send a check: Library Society of the World Clubhouse, PO Box 7893 Colorado Springs CO 80933 Make the check payable to Steve Lawson Or The Library Foundation Attn: Flood 301 York St. Louisville, KY 40203 (502) 574-1709 News Coverage Talks Flood Response with Louisville Library Director Craig Buthod Updated: Louisville Libraries Hit By Flooding; Main Library Closed Indefinitely Main Library hit hard by flooding I know I alot of people have already covered this but I want to

Why did you particpate in the Library Day in the Life Project?

August 5, 2009

Was is self promoting narcissism? Desire to share the most boring mundane details of your life with others (wake up, make coffee)? Or something else. Sarah Faye Cohen shares why she didn’t participate and she’s wondering why others did. A legitimate question, actually one I’m curious about myself. The first two rounds of Library Day in the Life were small, I think less than 30 people total, then somehow this one took off, I’m not sure if it was David’s post or the mention on LISnews or what, but all of a sudden there were loads of people I’d never interacted with doing it (over 200 last count).
