A Communication Resource Center is one of the greatest needs.
The Pass has been much too long in not providing communication access to its "Other World Residents"
who cannot begin to move onto their homes or properties while the slow drudgery of Recovery Processes are taking place.
People are ready to move back in, but can't. And once there, no place to go.
A place to Meet
does not exist.
A Library can provide some comfort that is much needed.

With a little push, library can reopen in the Pass
Sally James says she can get the Pass Christian Public Library up and humming if she can get one of the many trailers FEMA is parking in War Memorial Park to house city services.
James, normally the children's librarian in the Pass, says 15 computers have already been donated to Pass Christian and all she needs is a place to plug 'em in.
War Memorial Park, which stretches from 2nd Street down to the beachfront, is turning into something of a civic center for the Pass. Trailers have already been designated to temporarily house city hall, the police department and the department of public works.
Adding a trailer for the library - and its invaluable resource of Internet access for residents - ought to be done immediately.

As of November 1, Sally's initial Quest becomes a Reality.
Some communities are beginning to send books to help kick-start the Library. Shelving and chairs are additional short items.
