Help LFPL
Thu 13 Aug 2009, 2:05 pm
On Tuesday, August 4, 2009, the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) was flooded. Late that night, with the encouragement of other members of the Library Society of the World, I started raising money to donate to their library foundation. I set a goal of $5,000 by September 1.
At this point (August 27 at 11:00AM MDT), *110 people have donated $3,431.29 *.
If you’d like to help, you can donate any amount you wish with the PayPal button below.
If you’d rather send a check, send it to the Library Society of the World Clubhouse, PO Box 7893, Colorado Springs CO 80933. Make the check payable to Steve Lawson.
This money goes into my personal accounts and then I will write a check to LFPL. If you don’t like that idea (and if you don’t know me, I don’t blame you), here is the information for making a donation direct to the LFPL Library Foundation:The Library Foundation
Attn: Flood

I have written multiple blog posts about the flood and the fund raising effort.
