Libraries are free, but books aren’t

The Libraries are Free But Books Aren’t Drive is an effort by Michelle Jones on the Consuming Louisville blog to make it easy for people to donate books to the Louisville Free Public Library. The library set up a LFPL wish list on Amazon, which makes it easy to make a donation, and ensures that the library ends up with books they really want.
I have never been to Louisville, but I sent them a book this morning because I really like this idea, and wanted to blog about it and would feel like a dope if I hadn’t actually sent them a book first. It sounds like this is the last week of the drive, so don’t delay.
Incidentally, LFPL is where Greg Schwartz works. So if you know Greg and that gives you more of a reason to want to support this little project, so much the better.

Thanks for the mention and the contribution to our collection, Steve. I expect that the wishlist will remain available after the Consuming Louisville drive is over, not that that’s any excuse to wait!
