Die IFLA hat heute einen Aufruf des National Library and Documentation Services Board in Sri Lanka veröffentlicht, der dringend um Hilfe der internationalen Bibliotheksgemeinschaft bittet: "Sri Lanka plunged in to crisis as giant tidal waves lashed the southern, northern, and eastern coasts of the country causing over 12000 deaths and massive lost of property. [...] Amidst this catastrophe a large number of school libraries, community libraries, children libraries, public libraries, libraries belong to religious institutions and a large number of private/home libraries in the affected areas either have either been completely destroyed or severely affected. In this hour of calamity the National Library and Documentation Services Board of Sri Lanka seeks assistance from the international community and especially from the IFLA members to reconstruct/repair the damaged libraries and the restoration of the damaged books and other library material".
