Just a call for help on behalf of the New Orleans Public Library. According to the New York Foundation for the Arts, the library is asking for any and all hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages in an effort to restock the shelves after Katrina.
You can send your books to:
Rica A. Trigs, Public RelationsApparently if you tell the post office that they are for the library in New Orleans, they will give you a discounted postal rate.
New Orleans Public Library
219 Loyola Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70112
At the same time, here are two organizations which are helping the NOPL by raising funds, so if you can't bear to part with your books, consider a small donation:
New Orleans Public Library Foundation Rebuilding Campaign
Friends of New Orleans Public Library's Restoration Fund
