"Here's a novel way to help out the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and one that many teachers and fellow bibliophiles may like.
Kappa Delta Pi is gathering children's books to help replenish school libraries. They are gathering them at their annual Convocation, but I emailed them and asked if people could send books to them directly (and/or a donation for that purpose) and got a nice reply. Thank you for making this gesture...of course we will accept books if you wish to send them to headquarters. We are also contributing to the Katrina efforts in this way. Send them to me and I'll be sure you and the chapter get
credited.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Wolfe
Executive Director
I don't know if anyone else is gathering books, frankly not just to replenish schools but for shelters I wish I could send some good kids books. Books are a way to keep hope alive, to feed the soul, to let you travel away from the hellish insecurity of your current situation to a wonderful mysterious land...
So, I guess you can send books here if you want to:
