FARMINGTON, États-Unis - Les bibliothèques du Maine ont décidé de recueillir des dons pour la reconstruction de la bibliothèque de Lac-Mégantic, qui a été détruite lors de la tragédie ferroviaire du 6 juillet.
La directrice de la bibliothèque publique de Farmington, Melanie Coombs, a lancé l'initiative parce que cette municipalité du Maine est jumelée à Lac-Mégantic.
Le déraillement d'un train transportant du pétrole dans la petite localité de l'Estrie a fait 47 morts, mais a aussi détruit une partie du centre-ville.
Mme Coombs a déclaré au Sun Journal que la bibliothèque de Lac-Mégantic avait perdu sa collection de 60 000 livres, et que seuls quelques bouquins empruntés par des usagers avaient échappé aux flammes. Des archives et des photos documentant l'histoire de la ville ont également été détruites.
Melanie Coombs a demandé la collaboration des bibliothèques de tout l'État du Maine, qui ont accepté de placer une tirelire destinée aux dons sur leurs comptoirs de prêts.
