September 09, 2005: Library Association Collects Information of Hurricane Katrina Library Damage
"Louisiana State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton writes: “The New Orleans City Archives at the Main Library are not underwater and are dry. The camera took pictures at a weird angle and made it look to staff like it was underwater but they are not. A company called Munter’s has been hired by the library to remove them and get them out of New Orleans. They are safe. Someone broke some windows and was living in the library but they did not hurt anything. I am in tears I am so happy. NOPL’s Geri Harris thought all was lost and we are all relieved to know that so much of Louisiana’s history has been spared.”"
