Send New Orleans your copy of A Million Little Pieces

A couple of different organizations are working to restock the bookshelves along the Gulf Coast. The New York Foundation for the Arts website is encouraging folks to send any and all hardcover and paperback books to the New Orleans Public Library. Some will be stocked and others will be sold for fundraising. When mailing, be sure to ask for the library rate from your friendly neighborhood postal worker. The address is Rica A. Trigs, Public Relations, New Orleans Public Library, 219 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112.

Book Relief spreads the literary love to the classrooms. Nine book distributions have already been held on the Gulf Coast, with over 1.5 million books being distributed. Book Relief's goal is to donate at least five million books to organizations, schools, and libraries supporting the evacuees, and replenish the schools and libraries being rebuilt on the Gulf Coast.
