    Haha, love the irony! FEMA’s there, but the library's on lockdown—guess they’ll have to help out in a different way! :D

    C’mon, the other branches are open. Here is more info on them using “safe havens” libraries - https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=8262&context=atg#:~:text=Libraries%20are%20typically%20well%20built,during%20an%20emergency%20re%2D%20sponse.

    Closing a library is akin to stopping an after school program for kids. It’s a travesty that a place of literacy is being closed indefinitely…

    FEMA actually does a lot to help from what I know. One of my best friend works tirelessly for them. She is working sometimes for days at a time. But I don't know how it is in your area..... *shrugs*
