This is a library-loving blog challenge!
For every commenter on this post between now and March 28th, I will donate $1 per commenter to Room to Read, an amazing organization that builds libraries around the world, up to an amount of $250.
Note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so don’t leave 50 comments all by yourself. But please do help me spread the word…link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money.
If you’re moved to make a flat-fee donation to your library, an organization like Room To Read, or to start your own challenge, you are quite welcome, and please leave that information in the comments.
For a complete list of participating bloggers (and to visit other sites where you can help libraries just by leaving a comment!) visit the writerjenn blog at http://writerjenn.livejournal.com/
Thanks, everyone! Let's raise some $$$!

ReplyDelete“When people who can read and write start fighting on behalf of people who can’t, you just end up with another kind of stupidity. If you want to help them, build a big library or something somewhere, and leave the doors open.”~Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times.
ReplyDeleteI love libraries!
ReplyDeleteYay libraries! I joined the challenge on my blog, too: http://michelleknudsen.blogspot.com

What the heck would we do without libraries and the librarians who support our books? I've been a librarian for over 25 years and I'm darned proud of it!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sydney! Love to the libraries! I'm doing the challenge at my blog, too, Holly Cupala, Tell Me a Secret (plus secret prizes)!
ReplyDeleteHey Syndey! You rock and it shows.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Sydney. Libraries are so important, and really make a difference in the lives of people of all ages!
ReplyDeleteHi Sydney,
ReplyDeleteHurray!!!!
I became a writer because the library wouldn't hire me! That's right: my dream job was to be a librarian! When that failed, I had to move on . . . sigh. Go libraries!
ReplyDeleteLibraries and librarians are the best!!!!
ReplyDeleteLibraries, literacy programs, and writing are package-deal passions to this English major/avid bookworm. Thanks for taking up the challenge and providing this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping your library! We need more people like you :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lucky library! You're awesome, Sydney!
ReplyDeleteI would die without the library. Really.
ReplyDeleteI love libraries! ♥ ♥ ♥
ReplyDeleteGo, Sydney! Here's some library love back to you. Hugs - j
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I'm so glad Jenn passed the idea around. I know the libraries that benefit will appreciate the extra funds. Thanks for participating. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause!!!! I'm so happy to see so many people donating to an awesome cause - getting books into the hands of the average person!
ReplyDeleteSydney, great idea. Another blog I follow of a local writer is doing a similar thing for the Pleasant Grove Library. You ladies are awesome. Good luck
ReplyDeleteGo Sydney!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Sydney, what a great organization! Hoorah for reading and helping :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl, I wanted to be a librarian when I grew up because I thought I would get to read all day! I still love libraries and have given them much financial support over the years through my overdue fines. I guess it's time for me to go take out another few books and return them late!
ReplyDeleteYay, for the libraries, and for you for donating!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause, Sydney! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteJean Reagan
