Hello everyone, I contacted a consortium colleague in North Carolina to ask what would most help libraries impacted by Hurricane Helene. She responded with two needs: * Social workers and other mental health professionals who could provide emotional and other support * Guidance on how to help library users in affected areas apply for FEMA aid If you know people who could help with either of these needs, please contact me off-list. I assume that Tennessee and also Florida libraries impacted by Hurricane Miltonf would probably express the same needs. Thank you, Scott Scott Garrison (he/him) Executive Director Midwest Collaborative for Library Services 517-489-4071 garrisons@mcls.org<mailto:garrisons@mcls.org> [A picture containing text, font, screenshot, graphics Description automatically generated] mcls.org<https://www.mcls.org/> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> | X<https://twitter.com/mclsorg> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-collaborative-for-library-services> Schedule a meeting with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/94d03907fb274c71b46ba951e176d978@mcls.org?anonymous&ep=pcard>
