* A celebration of heroes.

To help the Lockport Rotary celebrate the Rotary Centennial, we're sponsoring a "Heroes: Generations of Service" winter reading club and bookmark contest this month, for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Reading club logs, bookmark entry forms, and more information about the "Generations of Service" program are available at the library or through links in the red box near the top of our home page. Look for more activities in March.

* Asian tsunami disaster links.

FirstGov.gov has an excellent page of links to information about the disaster and about earthquakes and tsunamis in general.

Wikipedia has a brief, but very detailed, article about the earthquake and tsunami.

Many news sites, including Yahoo! News, CNN, and BBC News, have set up special pages for coverage of the disaster.

A number of satellite photographs of sites hit by the tsunami are available at DigitalGlobe.

A group of people have created a blog for news and information about relief efforts. Another blogger put together a useful table of relief agencies, including ratings from charity watchdog organizations.
