WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: First Lady Makes Surprise Announcement At Biloxi School

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: First Lady Makes Surprise Announcement At Biloxi School: "Rusty Hunt works from a small corner in Beauvoir Elementary's school library in Biloxi. Hurricane Katrina kicked him out of his brand new library at Gorenflo Elementary and ruined his precious collection of 13,000 books.

'Book shelves were moved around and thrown around and it was a huge mess,' said Rusty Hunt. 'I did not go in, because I was afraid of what it would do to me to see it destroyed.'

Hunt's story touched the hearts of members of the Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries. So on Wednesday morning, the First Lady walked into the gutted Gorenflo library to make a surprise announcement."
