The American Library Association’s Disaster Relief Fund provides funds to libraries in the U.S. and around the world that have been damaged or destroyed due to natural or human-caused disasters.
Libraries are lifelines in times of crisis. The Okeechobee County Library’s Multi-Agency Resource Center is a powerful example, connecting residents with essential resources and support during disaster recovery. #HurricaneHelene #HurricaneMilton
