This just in: I am a doofus

More than one person had a problem donating to the LSW for LFPL fundraising effort, and it’s all because I am a doofus. In two seperate blog posts, I put the wrong email address for donations.
It should be LSW.LFPL@gmail.com (I had google.com. I don’t work at Google. I am a doofus.)
The “Donate” button worked fine, obviously–there’s no way I would have received over $3,500 via Paypal if it didn’t–but if you tried to go direct to that email address, it hiccuped.
At this point, if you feel moved to donate, I encourage you to go to the Louisville Free Public Library Foundation page and donate there. They have a PayPal button of their own, or you can mail them a check.

You are not the only doofus in this situation – if I’d thought about it for a minute, I’d have realized that the google.com email address wasn’t quite right… Thanks for finding the error, though, so that I could get my money in for the LSW!!
