Hurricane Help
Bringing books, comfort and a little joy to children after Hurricanes Laura and Delta.
Books for Lake Charles.
When Sheletta decided to go to Lake Charles to give away copies of her autism book Cameron Goes to School to children who survived two hurricanes, fellow authors stepped in to help by donating copies of their children’s books.
The effort supported children and libraries that had lost their books in Hurricanes Laura and Delta.
This is an archive of that relief effort. Please contact the library before sending donations to confirm its current needs.
