Louisville Free Public Library fundraiser speeding toward its thrilling conclusion!
Mon 31 Aug 2009, 11:11 am
Tomorrow is the deadline I set for the Library Society of the World to raise $5,000 for the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL).
At this moment, we have **$3,638.95** after PayPal takes its cut. So that leaves us with more than $1,300 to raise today and tomorrow.
It still could happen. I have had over $100 in donations come in already this morning. Today is the [LFPL Blogathon](http://lfplblogathon.pbworks.com/) where you donate some money to the LFPL, then blog about why libraries are awesome. Look for my post in this space later today.
If you donate using the LSW donation button below, you will be eligible to win one of the fabulous prizes [mentioned in my last post](http://stevelawson.name/seealso/archives/2009/08/one_week_to_go_in_lfpl_fundraiser.html). I heard from photographer Jamie Sheppard that the prints she’s donated are 11×14, so those are going to look quite nice on someone’s wall.
I’ll resist the urge to write some kind of wrap-up until tomorrow. Until then, please donate using the LSW button here, or [directly to the LFPL Foundation](http://www.lfplfoundation.org/). And my thanks to the 120+ of you that have already donated.

[...] blogathon. but that doesn’t mean it’s not too late for you guys to contribute to the LSW goal of raising 5000$ to send to the LFPL to help them restore the library to pre-flood wonderfulness. [...]
