Dear Colleagues
A recent item in ALA's AL Direct advertises a
combined effort by French & Lebanese librarians
to publicize the "damage and disruption to
libraries and cultural institutes" caused by Israeli bombing.
("Librarians in Lebanon and France have launched
a blog to disseminate information on damage and
disruptions to cultural institutions,
particularly libraries, since the
Hezbollah-Israeli conflict that began July 12.
Recent postings include a summary of damages to
the Lebanese publishing industry, an expression
of concern by the International Committee of the
Blue Shield, and a statement on the effects of
the conflict on public libraries in southern
Lebanon by Minister of Culture Imad Hashem....
Bibliban")
Perhaps we should join forces with our Israeli
colleagues to tell the stories of public and
school libraries, as well as cultural centers,
that were damaged or destroyed by Hezzbollah
rockets in the north and Kassam rockets in the
south of Israel? We may even succeed in getting
the International Committee of the Blue Shield to
express some concern about itÂ…
