Guys Lit Wire Book Fair

May 9, 2011 |

Written by: Kelly on May 9, 2011.


Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have books in your high school library? If you couldn’t access things like an SAT study guide?

Thanks to the efforts of Guys Lit Wire, one high school in such a situation is being offered the chance to change that through the donations of book lovers and youth advocates.

Ballou High School is this year’s recipient of this book fair, and donating to the cause is incredibly easy and rewarding. Click here to get the full details on how to access the school’s wish list and have items sent directly to them.

I donated 2 fiction titles, and after making my donation, I got notes from two of my friends — not bloggers or book friends, but people I went to college with — that they also donated a handful of books EACH to the cause. So readers, I implore you: if you can spare 10 or 15 bucks to put much needed books into the hands of these high schoolers, you would make a difference in someone’s life. It’s easy and important.

If you DO donate, please drop me a comment here with what you sent. I think I can do something to reward you, too.
