1ST (HOPEFULLY) ANNUAL B00KRAVE BOOK DRIVE!!

I have been trying to donate a coupla cartons of books for about a year. In between jobs, I find myself staring at these boxes and constantly thinking about it. The boxes keep growing as I try to contain the clutter of my home and daily life in our millennium.

I took them to a few local libraries, sorted out the kids books for our school, tried the YMCA, and all the usual suspects...but in the end, the boxes remain.

I love books, I love ebooks and I love audio books....

There are some books I will never part with, but many have been read (or will never get read), and although enjoyed (or not) are ready to move onto another home...

Luckily, I found
BOOKS FOR PEOPLE

They are a non-profit who will collect the books, and distribute to libraries, hospitals, shelters, jails and other venues who are in need of reading material. They will take all sorts of books, hardcover, paperback, fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, scientific books, how to books...

NO PORN, MAGAZINES OR NEWSPAPERS....

I have arranged a pick up for July 24, 2010 at my house in WLA....

I would love to have your books for this donation!!

Share the joy that is reading...a book needs no batteries, no charger and no electronics to work it's magic....your old reads are somebody else's magic carpet or inspired how to!!

I bet you have some books that are just gathering dust, books you would like to see go onto another worthy reader....

PLEASE JOIN IN...it is uber easy..

1. Drop off at ANY TIME at my house ...you can just leave books on my front steps if nobody is home. I will box for BFP pick up....email me for map to chez moi....or check BOOKRAVE page on FB, as link/map is posted there!

2, I will pick up from you! Your house or place of business....especially your place of business...set up a drop box and get your comrades to join in...email me for arranging a pick up in the LA area...
