Subject: [KANLIB-L:14273] Greensburg, KS, Relief Efforts

For those of you who would like to help the Greensburg, KS, Kiowa County
Library after the devastating tornado they suffered, the Kansas Library
Association Educational Foundation has set up a fund for donations.  KLA
EF is a 501c3 organization and all donations are tax deductible.

The most recent report is that the library building was essentially
sheared off three feet above the ground.  Everything below three feet is
sitting in water, making it a complete loss.  PLEASE DO NOT SEND BOOKS,
there is no place to put them.  

Navigate to the link below.  Contributions can be made with a credit or
debit card through PayPal, or you can print the PDF form and send a
check or money order.  All donations should be unspecified, so their
FEMA and other relief aid will not be affected.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed a desire to help one small town
in Kansas recover and rebuild their library.
