Laura's Review Bookshelf: A Call for Help

A Call for Help

My local library and High School library are seriously lacking in books. They don't have Liar, by Justine Larbalestier or Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. These are book that the teens are looking for! So I'm asking my fellow bloggers can you help them out?

I'm donating a bunch of advance copies and finished copies of books to both mediums. They will get Shiver (high school) and Liar (public library). Can you as bloggers, dig into your bookshelves and donate some books to these two places? They are:

Whitinsville Social Library (which lost accreditation because they don't have a head librarian!)

Northbridge High School. They're library is suffering and tried to raise money during a fundraiser last December. $700 was raised. Obviously not enough to buy what is out there.

So if you have any Advance copies or finished copies that are gathering dust, would you like to donate to one of these very worthy places? I'm putting together a bag this weekend for them and I know how appreciative they will be there.

Author's I know that these libraries do not have any 2009 Deb books. Could you donate a copy?

Thank you very much!

I would call them first to let them know that you are donating.

I'm dropping off a bunch of books to the library and high school on Monday/Tuesday.

The high school is seriously in need of current YA reads. Please e-mail me if you have any other questions. Thank you so much!
