New York, New York, November 16, 2005
The H.W. Wilson Foundation today announced a $50,000 donation to the American Library Association's Hurricane Katrina Library Relief Fund.

The Hurricane Katrina Library Relief Fund will help libraries in the ravaged Gulf Coast region to rebuild their collections. More than 1,000 ALA individual and corporate members have contributed, and the H.W. Wilson donation will boost the fund to over $150,000.

In addition, the H.W. Wilson Company announced that it will work with any library that suffered a major loss because of Hurricane Katrina. Affected libraries are encouraged to contact the Company's customer service department if they need to replace H.W. Wilson titles.
