Double Your Donation: Another reason to adore NYT BSL author Nora Roberts; she's pledged to match donations made to Habitat for Humanity through September 20th.
Free Virtual Library: LibraryThing.com, which provides members with the means to catalog their personal libraries online (200 books for free, as many as you like for a $10 lifetime membership) is offering free paid account upgrades to anyone who donates $50 or more to the Red Cross.
Old-Fashioned Caring: Victorian Trading Company's owners Melissa and Randy Rolston, who regularly donate 10% of their net profits to worthy causes, are at it again with this offer: "We will donate 10% of net profits received from all Internet orders to Hurricane Katrina victims through September."*
If you know of any donation matching or special offers for Katrina relief supporters, please post them in comments.
*VTC sells my all-time favorite journals; they're big, beautifully covered, spiral-bound and have lovely ecru-colored pages that are lined on one side and blank on the other. Just so happens that they're on sale, you can get a pair of them for $6.99

Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou may want to let people know about the Neighborhood Story project in New orleans, an amazing project that created books by high school students about their blocks. These are incrdible books and the authors receive royalties, which they now desparately need since they;ve been displaced by Katrina.
I blog about them here:
