TLA Library Recovery Connection
The Texas Library Association developed the Texas Library Recovery Connection, an online information sharing system to help connet those offering assistance to libraries in need. The Google spreadsheet,similar to those developed by other grassroots assistance groups, is a tool where librarians and library supporters can enter pertinent information.
There are two worksheets in the Google spreadsheet - one for libraries needing assistance, and one for companies/organizations and others offering assistance. Our hope is that this simple information sharing system will help connect those offering assistance to libraries in need.

Katy Budget Books to help teachers replenish classroom books
KBB is a local used book store, which offers local teachers donated Teacher Credit each month. Now is a great time to donate any credit you're not using by emailing read@katybooks.com the name on your account, your home phone number, and the amount you would like to donate. We will be doubling the amount available to teachers who lost their classroom libraries in the storm. Teachers, that means if you were impacted by flood damage, you can come in and use $50 in paperback credit or $25 in hardcover to help you make a dent rebuilding.
Additionally, we are asking any customers who were fortunate during this disaster to come in and purchase $25 gift cards for us to donate to various districts. You may designate a particular school you want to see the money go to, or we will distribute to area districts so that they can determine where the need is greatest.
You may also order gift cards online here: http://www.katybooks.com/kbb-gift-card . Just put your name in the "From" field, and your selected school or school district in the "To" field. If left blank, we will add it to the general distribution.
