When I saw this is a library-loving blog challenge over at Brimful Curiosities, I knew that I would want to join in. As a homeschooler, I love books, and we like to support our local libraries. While we aren’t using our current library quite as much as we used our old library (because they did not have the online catalog available), we still want to support the library system! (They have recently added that option, so we’ll probably be making more trips to the library again.)
For every commenter on this post between now and Saturday, March 27, at midnight Arizona time, I will donate 50 cents to the Yuma County Library, for the first 100 comments.
How easy could it be? All you need to do is leave a comment! If you don’t know what to say in your comment, “I love libraries” or “books are great” will do.
Note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so if a single person leaves 50 comments, that still only counts once! You can do even more by spreading the word … please link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money.
When you’ve left me a comment, please visit WriterJenn for a list of participating blogs and leave them comments as well, because they are also donating to their local libraries! The more blogs you visit, the more libraries you can help!
Thanks for joining in!
What a great idea! I absolutely love our library. I cannot imagine homeschooling without them.

I love libraries! I start taking my kids from the time they are babies and we go almost every weekend! Now all 5 of my kids love books.

Hi there — good luck with your challenge, and three cheers for libraries! 🙂
Hooray for libraries!
I love my local library! And I love books so much that my house is like a library. LOL!
Yay, for the libraries, and for you for donating!
I think what you are doing is wonderful. That is so very kind of you to do. Hope the library can raise a lot of money. Roxie
Thanks for doing this challenge. Libraries need our help now more than ever. BTW– my husband maintains a gluten free diet, so I was intrigued by the links on your site to GF connections.

Yay libraries! Thank you for your support.
Awesome, great job!
Wahoo Books! Great job 🙂
It’s wonderful that you decided to participate! Just a random side-note– my cat, who is sitting nearby as I type, is named Munchkin as well. She’s older than your daughter by 7 years.
I think this was a great idea! Thanks for participating. The libraries and literacy groups who benefit from the challenge will appreciate the extra funding.
Thanks for supporting libraries!

Such an awesome idea – I love that so many people are getting behind it. Great job in participating and supporting our libraries! 🙂
Lots of library love! The Texas Sweethearts are participating in the challenge as well: http://texassweethearts.blogspot.com/2010/03/library-loving-blog-challenge.html
Every town, no matter how small, should have a library.
Good luck!

Thanks so much for doing this! Reading always needs a boost.
I couldn’t live without libraries.
I’m participating in the library blog challenge, though I’ve gotten a bit of a late start:

What a wonderful way to raise $ for reading and the library!
What a great idea.
Supporting libraries is so worthwhile. It would be a lot harder to homeschool without them.

What a neat idea! We live right across the street from our library, so we use it quite often. I do think the online card catalog system helps a ton though!

How good of you to do this! I love our library, though I wish they’d do inter-library loan. 🙂

Libraries are so amazing – thanks for helping out.
Thanks for making a difference!
What a nice idea! I tend to “donate” to my library through late fees… (eyes rolling). Love it when the kids are about to “Buy” the book, when they finally find it! 😉
Blessings
