Got this from this week’s issue of The Nation. Thanks, Katha Pollitt! (Here’s her entire list.)
“10. Fill the Shelves. Ferocious cuts to public school funds have taken a big toll on school libraries—whose collections are tattered, outdated and shrinking. This website posts school librarians’ wish lists—buy a volume in the ever-popular Bone series for a Boston elementary school, or Eric Foner’s Reconstruction for an Alabama high school. And don’t stop with the holidays — bookmark the website for year — long donating as new lists are posted.”
Also, a picture. Because you’re pretty and deserve one.
