Sunday Reflections: How to Help those affected by Hurricane Harvey

August 28, 2017 by Karen Jensen, MLS   2 comments

tltbutton5Although my family lives in the state of Texas, we are far enough inland and away from the storm that we are not being affected. We are expected to have rain through all this week and there is a flood warning in effect, but it will be nothing compared to what is happening in the South. The people in Southern Texas are going to need a lot of help in the coming days, weeks, months and I am trying to compile resources for those who would like to help. Please note, I have seen it mentioned multiple times that you should donate to local resources if you can to help make sure the money gets directly to the people impacted by this devastating storm.

Specific Kid/YA Lit and Library Related Aid:

KidLit Cares: Hurricane Harvey Relief Effort – Kate Messner

Disaster Relief and Support for Libraries | Texas Library Association

Additional Types of Aid:

If you are not in a position to donate money, please consider donating blood if you are able. Also remember that many pets and animals will be impacted so consider donating things like pet food as well.

    I left the classroom for the library and have hundreds of quality, hardly used books. How can we hook up with teachers who need to rebuild classroom libraries?

      This just came across my Twitter TL. Here’s a list of schools/libraries that need help rebuilding: https://twitter.com/DraftingJason/status/903029027832823809
