Rebuild Network

Rebuilding Florida Libraries

THANK YOU to our generous donors!

$12,981.19 raised (as of 11/7)

Thank you so much for your interest in helping Florida libraries after the devastation of Hurricane Irma. We are amazed at the outpouring of support we are receiving and are truly grateful. As you can imagine, this is going to be a long process of recovery.

Reports are slowly coming in of damage assessments. In an effort to provide assistance, The Florida Library Association created the Florida Libraries Rebuild Network, an online information sharing system to help connect those offering assistance to libraries in need. The Google spreadsheet* is a tool where librarians and library supporters can enter their 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.

Thank you again for your support!

If you have any questions, please email Karen Layton, FLA Membership and Events Manager or call 850-270-9205.

*NOTE: This is an unmediated process that allows companies and organizations to reach out to specific libraries directly, and allows libraries to reach out to specific companies directly. Once an offer is fulfilled and no longer available, it is the company's responsibility to mark it as Fulfilled/No Longer Available on the spreadsheet.

FLA is only monitoring the spreadsheet to ensure there are no spam posts. FLA is not responsible for mistakes, inaccuracies, or incomplete information posted on the spreadsheet.
