a Louisiana library visit

I’m sitting in the San Antonio airport, waiting for the second of my three flights home. I have all kinds of exciting conference sessions to blog about, but in the meantime, I wanted to point to a few of these pictures of hurricane and flood damage in Louisiana libraries.

On Friday, Heidi Dolamore and I had the opportunity to tour some of New Orleans and Slidell (a suburb about 30 minutes away, across Lake Ponchatrain) with a librarian from Delgado Community College. I can’t say much more about it than what the photos show, which is both devastating, awe-inspiring, and, strangely, full of hope.
