Hurricane Harvey left SO much destruction in its path and that didn’t exclude libraries along the coast.
Most small libraries have little outside funding and depend on donations to survive.
PLEASE dig deep into your pockets and help these libraries recover. Your donations are tax deductible.

This is just one of the many ways the Texas Association of Authors helps.

As I was getting my library books together, they are due Saturday, I was wondering if the library I go to had damage, the area it is in was hit hard, so I am afraid it might have. It is very sad, for the small towns to lose their library, and even harder to know that all the schools that are under water, now don’t have a school library.

So true, Veda. At least the schools have funding. The small libraries will have a hard time bouncing back. Thank you for commenting.

Thanks for the share, it’s good to know there’s something to help the already struggling libraries! Nothing like curling up in the corner of my favorite library, actually all libraries are my favorite!

Wow, I hadn’t even thought about the libraries, but of course they are affected too.
Today is the #DayofGiving and hopping online to send a donation is the first thing I did this morning. I hope everyone rallies and contributes as much as they can.
Jan, double check your link. I got an error message when I clicked.

Thank you, Teagan. I think any author feels the same soft spot for the awesome libraries we learned to read and have adventures in.

I’ll always have a soft spot for libraries, Jan. To an author they’re almost sacred. I was heartbroken earlier this week to read about a large scale shooting at a library in a small New Mexico town…
Anyway many thanks for the link and the reminder. Have a thriving Thursday.
