As everyone is now aware, Hurricane Irene will be impacting New York State.  The New York State Library sincerely hopes that local libraries and cultural organizations are not impacted.

In the event that a library or other cultural organization must deal with water damaged material,  staff may wish to visit the “other preservation resources” section of the Conservation/Preservation Program web page on the State Library’s website for advice and a listing of helpful resources at: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/cp/index.html

For information and updates on flooding, please visit the Office of the State Emergency Management (SEMO) website at: http://www.semo.state.ny.us/index.cfm

If your institution does suffer damage, please let the State Library know by emailing Barbara Lilley, Conservation/Preservation Program Officer, Division of Library Development, New York State Library at blilley@mail.nysed.gov
