1. We are getting evacuees in our library.

They are getting an immediate temporary internet access card so they can go online and do whatever they need to do, but especially register with FEMA. FEMA has a Spanish form that can be printed out and filled out by hand, but to do it in English you have to do it by phone or online. Go figure. Anyway, I'm very proud of my library!

2. I'm proud of your library, too!

Where is it?

3. Plano, TX. All four of our libraries are doing this.

Deep in the heart of Bush country, even.

4. wow -- the good ol' "public sector" at work!

Your libraries need anything from DUers? Anything to post on the ALA website?
