That area was particularly hard hit with yesterday's storm. Kendal Orrison has checked with the East Peoria staff, and while some staff have lost power, there was no major damage to anyone's home and everyone is OK. Our East Peoria building is currently without power and the only staff member there is Kendal. (The rest of the staff has gone home.) Kendal said power may not be restored at East Peoria until around 10 p.m. this evening. RSA is down until further notice and members have been notified via the RSA mailing lists. Delivery is going out today since the vans were all packed and ready to go. Tomorrow there will only be pick-ups from libraries on the East Peoria routes since staff will not be able to sort materials today. We are going to put an alert on the RAILS website with this information. I hope everyone is safe and that no one suffered serious damage from the storm. I will keep you posted if I learn anything further.
