Subject: [GRAY] Fort Worth TX , USA --- Public Library -Tornado Damage
3-28-00
Recieved this on another list.
Thought it might be of interest to anyone who has travel plans.
To one and all;
As many of you know Fort Worth was hit by a tornado this past tuesday.
The Fort Worth Public Library did sustain damage. At this time the
library is closed both to the public and staff. All the glass in the
building was blown out; the air conditioning system was destroyed and
there is water damage. The rare books section of the Genealogy/Local
History/City Archives has had water damage. We have not been able to
get back into the library to see if there is structural damage.
Please
advise one and all that if you are planning a research trip to the
Fort
Worth Public Library to phone before you come. We are hoping that the
staff
will be able to get into the building on monday. I will keep this
listserv
updated on the conditions of the library and collection. If anyone
has
any
questions please have them email me at the address listed here.
Sincerely,
Shirley Apley, Senior Librarian
Genealogy/Local History/City Archives
Fort Worth Public Library
500 West 3rd Street
Fort Worth, TX 76112
