Great list, check it out.

Hey, I haven’t blogged in a little while, what’s up with that? I’ve been busy teaching, that’s what! What’s new with you?

xo,

I would like this egret to be in charge of the library.

And on your way out? Please remember to close the door and keep out the bats.

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 Ferocious cuts to public school funds have taken a big toll on school libraries—whose collections are tattered, outdated and shrinking.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.
