A few days ago, Leslie Burger (ALA president elect) posted about the Katrina Project. This is a project where Powell's bookstore (Portland, OR's amazing bookstore) and some enterprising students at Princeton University are working together to help rebuild the New Orleans Public Library.
Burger explains in her post:
The Katrina Project is building a Levee made out of books in front of Firestone Library on the [Princeton] University Campus. If you are interested in donating to the Katrina Project New Orleans Public Library system rebuilding project you can purchase “book bricks” for $8.95 each at www.powells.com/katrina.You can suggest a book for the collection at check-out time (home-improvement books are very popular among patrons right now), or you can let the organization chose one on their own.
If you are interested in helping, go here.
