Proposed Charity: Reader To Reader
I would like to add a charity - Reader To Reader . Run out of Amherst College, they give books to underprivileged schools and libraries. I will take care of shipping costs, sending them once a month. From their website:
"All books should be gently used or new children's books or books suitable for teens. No loose bindings, stains, coloring or torn pages. Please note that condition is very important. All children's books and books suitable for teens, grades PreK-12 are welcome with the following exceptions:
No textbooks
No encyclopedias
No magazines
No out-of-date reference materials (almanacs from 1992, etc.)
No CDs or videos"

Gail,
This sounds like a great idea! I'll see if I have any extra of Eddie's books to donate.
The kid reads more then I do.

Gail, I've been looking for possible places to donate some copies of my grandfather's World War II memoir/autobiography. It is definitely suitable for/readable by high school-age kids. The books were published in 1999, but are unused. Do you think the charity would be interested in them?
We actually have several cases of them (24 books to a case). I would be happy to donate as many as you would like to ship, if Reader to Reader wants them.
Thanks,
Robin Mayhall
