"Five Brooklyn libraries severely damaged by Sandy are still shuttered nearly a month after the storm - and will cost unprecedented millions to get back up and running."
Normally, I would say something snarky about now, but the pictures in the article below horrified me. They remind me of a time not too long ago when my own state was devastated by a hurricane and hundreds of libraries were effected along the Gulf Coast, some of which never recovered. Only through the altruism of our fellow man and librarian did those libraries rebuild, and so it is here. I am sure there is a local effort to help these libraries get back on their feet, and I hope the lawmakers involved can look past the $10 million dollar price tag and see the investment that money can be.
Also, one of the captions in the article reads "Not a pulp fiction!" Seriously, dude? Not the time. Too-sunami.
