The earthquake in Italy has affected a mountainous region, centering on the
ancient town of L'Aquila. the first link provides a description (in English)
of the area's attractions, many of which are housed in ancient buildings
very vulnerable to earthquake damage. [You will note in news photos the
preponderance of collapsed buildings are of old unreinforced masonry construction.]

This second link shows the Salvatore Tommasi public library, also housed in
an ancient building. The text here is simple enough:
"La Biblioteca Provinciale 'Salvatore Tommasi', aperta ufficialmente nel
1848, è una biblioteca pubblica. La sede principale è al centro della città, in
Piazza Palazzo; una sezione staccata opera nei locali del complesso abbaziale
di Collemaggio. Essa ha il duplice compito della conservazione e della
divulgazione, al fine di promuovere le condizioni perché si eserciti l'effettivo
diritto di ogni cittadino allo studio, alla ricerca, all'informazione e alla
cultura."

I will search for news stories about libraries and similar institutions in
the area. If you find any, please post.
