People from across the nation felt compelled to offer their time to host free special programs and events for the children and community of Uvalde. They were laughing and smiling and interacting," Morgan said. "They were acting like children normally do. The children and their parents experienced a first moment of joy. Peter Lake, Commissioner of the Public Utility of Texas, Steps Down "I felt we needed to be thoughtful of the people who were still living, and that certainly included the preschoolers who normally come to their story hour on Wednesday morning." "My first thought was that we needed to keep as normal an operation going as possible because we could no longer serve the people who sadly passed away as a result of the tragedy," Morgan said. The change began the day after the Robb Elementary shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead. "It took us 119 years to build a collection of 76,000 items, and then to have 9,000 more sent in just a few months has been also overwhelming for our cataloger." "We are grateful for every single card, letter, thought, prayer, every dollar sent, every book," Morgan said. However, the library's role shifted towards one of a community and healing hub. We're the town who produced the governor of the State of Texas, Dolph Briscoe was the home of John Nance Garner, who was the former vice president of the United States home of Matthew McConaughey." And I would like people to know that Uvalde is much more than what happened, that we had a colorful history. "We will always have this as a very deep scar on the soul of our community, but it's not the only thing about our community. Virginia Davis is our professionally trained archivist," said Mendell Morgan, the director of the local public library.
