Libraries and Katrina

Joanna Pulcini writes that

"In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, a number of libraries and schools in the State Library of Louisiana and Mississippi Library systems have lost their collections...In Louisiana, the collections in the St. Tammany, Slidell, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, and New Orleans parishes have all been severely damaged. A number of Mississippi libraries in the Gulf Coast region have lost everything."
