Local Assistance Center - Alpine Library

From Bill Sannwald, principal librarian, regarding the Alpine Library during the West Fire in Alpine, and the many departments that came together to make it a Local Assistance Center for residents:

"In July, the Alpine Library recently served as a Local Assistance Center for residents impacted by the West fire in Alpine. A wide range of County departments, government agencies, community organizations, and other resources were made available to individuals who needed aid in starting the recovery process. Putting the LAC together and ensuring everything ran smoothly was no easy feat, and staff members from the Alpine Library along with other nearby branches put in an admirable amount of effort to make resources available as soon as possible. Furthermore, the library staff made sure core library operations were still in place the entire time. The library team, along with all representatives from the larger County organization and its partners, truly demonstrated public service, dedication, and HEART during a very difficult time."
