2010 Library-Loving Blog Challenge

Posted in Announcements, and Commercial Break

Make a DifferenceWhen 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!

  8. 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.

    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.

    What a wonderful way to raise $ for reading and the library!

  21. What a great idea.

  22. 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!

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