<p>Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is being affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and along the Gulf Coast. We are supporting the Texas Library Association (TLA) and Texas State Library as they work with local libraries dealing with storm-related damage.</p>
<p>TLA has posted a list of resources to help assist with recovery from the storm.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://squareup.com/store/txla/" target="_blank" choice="1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donate Online to the TLA Disaster Relief Fund <!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a></li>
<li><a href="https://secure.txla.org/secure/cart/crtStore.asp?storekey=2" target="_blank" choice="1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purchase TLA Coloring Book benefiting the Disaster Relief Fund<!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="http://www.txla.org/groups/DRC-funds" target="_blank" choice="1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apply for Disaster Relief Grant <!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.txla.org/groups/DRC-resources" target="_blank" choice="1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Disaster Recovery Resources <!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a></li>
</ul>
<p>ALA also has a list of resources for dealing with natural disasters at <a href="http://www.ala.org/advocacy/natural-disasters" target="_blank" choice="1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Libraries Respond<!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a>. Thank you in advance for any assistance or support you can provide our colleagues in Texas.</p>
