American libraries publish all titles about 11 septemper

In New York City, Washington, D.C., and across the nation, neighborhood public libraries are helping a population traumatized, saddened, and angered by the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to cope and return to the comforting routines of daily life. First Lady Laura Bush has encouraged citizens to turn to reading for healing. Like many of her colleagues around the country, the former librarian and teacher began compiling lists of books for Americans to read—for themselves and to their children.
Libraries responded swiftly to inform and console a confused public, whipping together programs that offered a stunned nation the opportunity to discuss and come to grips with the issues surrounding the tragedy.
