Big Sur Branch Library under mandatory evacuation


As I write you, the Big Sur Branch Library of Monterey County Free Libraries is being evacuated.  A mandatory evacuation was issued about an hour ago and we have our delivery van enroute to load up the historical items and as much of the collection as possible.  The Basin Complex fire is only about 3% contained and has apparently changed direction this morning, endangering Big Sur village.  This area has many campgrounds, hotels, the post office, and our branch library.
