The Krafty Librarian

The nn/lm scr blog has established a section of their blog to share information for those of impacted by Hurricane Katrina. They ask all who are affected to please post information about yourself, other staff or your library so that everyone in the Southeastern Atlantic Region can keep up-to-date on our colleagues.

From SLA's Information Professionals' Alliance on NaturalDisasters and Accidents (IPANDANet) -A member of the SLA community will pay for airfare to the Washington, DC area and then share lodging and food at no cost for a 2-3 month period. This person will mentor you to find a job, locate clothing for you, and when you move into your own place within the three months, will help you locate furnishings for it. Preference will be given to females; dogs are welcome. To inquire about the offer, send email to ipanda@sla.org. Selection of a recipient of this offer is left solely to the person making the offer, and SLA is only serving as a conduit for connecting those in need. You need not be a member of SLA to be considered for this offer.
