Many of our libraries in Eastern Tennessee were ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Like many of you, we watched, wanting to help in a tangible way but feeling overwhelmed by the many needs.
Here’s how you can help.
The Tennessee Library Association is launching its “Tennessee Libraries Helping Tennessee Libraries” campaign. This initiative supports academic, public, school, and special libraries throughout Tennessee, specifically those affected by Hurricane Helene.
For Libraries that have been damaged/affected by Hurricane Helene, please fill out this form to indicate what we can do to help. You may list multiple items in needs or fill out separate forms.
For those wishing to help, we have created a spreadsheet with the needs listed with contact information. Every small need met helps!
If you fulfilled the need, please indicate on the spreadsheet with your name or initials and the date you fulfilled this need.
If you directly know a need, you can fill out the form for the library as long as you have the name and contact information.
Thanking you in advance for your generosity! Please continue to keep all of our Eastern Tennessee folks in your thoughts during this difficult time.
