What can librarians in the United States do to help?
I have a suggestion to make: that the United States build a special big Library to serve parliament, the government, and the public, and to be a second storage facility for all valuable and precious books and documents in Iraq. Provide it with latest technology and gave it as a symbol of friendship between the two nations of Iraq and the United States and to serve as a center of cultural radiance. It would be like a bridge to convey knowledge and culture from the USA to Iraq; also, it may be considered as a good compensation for the Iraqi people’s suffering. American librarians could join together as a group and form an international committee, and organize a visit to study the real situation of the Iraqi libraries and to upgrade their function. They could provide assistance in the rehabilitation of Iraqi libraries, especially the academic libraries, and they could provide financial and technical support to the Iraqi libraries sector.
