Received 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
