Hi Bob,Can you share my email on the blog? I am hoping folks might consider participating in the NPR StoryCorp coming to Iowa city, which will be focussed on the flood. It would be terrific to have an oral record of this summer and the flood. In partnership with NPR's StoryCorps, the UI Libraries will be asking people throughout the community to share their flood stories. Documenting this historic event through a new collection is the Libraries' way of thanking the hundreds of people who helped move books out of harm's way when the Main Library was evacuated on Friday, June 13. I encourage you to participate. All you need is a good story (and we have plenty of them in the Flats) and someone to help you tell it. For more information about the project and to register to participate you can check the website http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/events/floodstories .


Best, Steve
