Rebuilding New Orleans Libraries
Posted by on April 25, 2006 at 11:16 AM
The DNC is sponsoring a book drive to help re-stock the New Orleans Public Library. If you want to help, you can ship your books to this address:
Rica A. Trigs, Public Relations
New Orleans Public Library
219 Loyola Ave.
New Orleans, LA. 70112
Tell the post office that you're sending Katrina books for the New Orleans public library and they can be sent at a cheaper "library rate." Here's a .pdf flyer for the drive.

I think this is such a wonderful book drive. I will have my children go through their books and donate to the New Orleans Public Library.
Just a natural thing to do as a Democrat.
This is a good idea, but you should be aware that a group of progressive Princeton students are also raising funds to help the New Orleans public libraries -- a project that started on March 29th. www.katrina-project.org. The NOPL desperately needs funds to rebuild just as much (if not more so!) than it needs books. Please consider linking to their project, I heard about it from a friend of mine who's a grad student at Princeton. They are also building a really cool levee made of books for every pledge that is made. Here's a picture:
