I went home, went to sleep, and woke up to lovely, wonderful book donations. Thanks, everybody. I also found this letter in my inbox:

Your kindness and generosity means so much to so many.

My office was located on the first floor of the Gulfport Library.

I lost 9 years worth of work and hundreds of books in the blink of an eye.

We can’t thank you enough.
