Weekend Stubble

Colleen Mondor of Bookslut has put out a call for donations -- via an Amazon wishlist -- for books and games for evacuee children currently sheltered by Parkview Baptist in Baton Rouge. All you have to do is pick some books or games, enter your amazon info, and you're good to go -- and you'll doing be some good as well.

Also: in an e-mail this morning Colleen had a great suggestion, which is for reviewers, bookstores, or publishers with extra ARCs of children's books laying around to donate them for these kids. If you got a pile of ARCs not doing anything -- and if you're at all involved in the book biz, I know you do -- drop me a line at collinslibrary AT aol.com and I'll forward your email on to Colleen...
