Flash Flood Drowns Lousiville Free Public Library

My heart goes out to Greg Schwartz and the rest of the folks (staff and patrons) at the LFPL. Greg posted these pretty shocking pictures of the damage just s few minutes ago:
That's my office back there on Twitpic

One more image for you on Twitpic

As I write this entry their site is down (as their machines are under water), but once things are back up and running I am sure they will have a way for you to donate to the repair and rebuilding on their web site: www.lfpl.org/

    So sorry to hear of this destruction at LFPL! I’m sure the communities (of Louisville and of librarians) will come to the aid of the library. Good luck to Greg and all the staff there.
