Link to September 7 Louisville Courier-Journal article.Excerpt: Since the Main Library was heavily damaged in the Aug. 4 flash flooding, the Louisville Free Public Library Foundation has received contributions to a flood-recovery fund totaling nearly $100,000.
“The outpouring of support has been tremendous,” Mayor Jerry Abramson said of the money, which has come from more than 500 groups and individuals in 22 states.
Along with numerous donations from local sources, library groups from across the country have chipped in, including the Cincinnati Library Staff Association, Friends of the Pittsboro (N.C.) Memorial Library and a committee of the James V. Brown Library in Williamsport, Pa.
