Donate Books to Water-Logged Libraries

I am planning to write a post about the Book Group Expo that I went to with Marcia last week, but work keeps getting in the way. In the meantime, read Marcia’s take on the Expo.

And while you’re at it, consider donating a book to the libraries in Harrison County that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Biloxi Library, for example, had 3 feet of water and lost 39,000 titles. Gulfport Library lost its children’s, adult fiction, and audio-visual collections.

Plus, you get to pick which book you want to buy from the library’s Amazon wishlist, which is pretty awesome.

You may already know this, but this year’s annual ALA conference is taking place in New Orleans. Several of my library science friends will be there.
