Colleagues: I thought that I would share this with you.  Ann Parham,
Army
Librarian suffered burns on her hands and face and a broken toe. She
was
very lucky as her back was to the rush of fire that entered her
office.

Some of you had asked about the status of the Pentagon Library.  The
old
library, which they were planning to move out of, was damaged in the
attack
and its aftermath.  All the staff is safe and accounted for.  Since
the
library is considered part of a crime scene, no one is allowed into
the area
so Kathy doesn't know the extent of the damage.  She knows that at
least the
back part of the library, including parts of the collection, is
water
damaged. NEDCC is standing by to help, once the situation is
assessed.  She
has been told that part of the plane's landing gear is sitting in
the
library, but is unsure about this since it wasn't there when they
evacuated
the library. The new library space was also water damaged.  They
expect to
move into temporary quarters in Crystal City soon.  That is all I
know at
present.

Ann Parham continues to recuperate as home.
